'An Edwardian development, originally consisting of a corner shop (Black's) and a Co-operative store, the block now contains 2 cafes / bistros, a restaurant, a bathroom showroom, fitness studio, hairdresser & a beauty salon. Most of the original shopfront features have been retained and the Edwardian character of the premises have been largely preserved. In particular, the recent tasteful cafe / bistro conversion at Black's Corner, with thoughtful hard & soft landscaping, has achieved a substantial positive improvement at this prominent location. At first floor level, the splayed corner feature with peaked gable, & large arched windows with feature keystones, predominate.
These buildings are referenced in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan (paragraphs 5.14 & 5.22).'

'These mainly narrow passageways are atmospheric & are representative of the village's early development history, & each has its own architectural characteristics.
4 passageways link Front Street with South Lane and 3 link Front Street with North Road / North Lane. Many of the passageways are lined with impressive magnesian limestone & sandstone walls, and largely retain a rural feel.
The 2 most westerly passageways which lead onto South Lane, offer panoramic views to the south, over the green belt, towards Black Plantation. Some of the passageway walls are regarded as "significant" heritage assets by South Tyneside Council.
These passageways are referenced in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan (paragraphs 5.14 & 5.22).'

'Whitburn, a shaft was sunk in the 1870s in the north of the Whitburn area, and a mining village was built at Marsden. The mine was closed in the 60s, with the village demolished soon after. Throughout this, the Whitburn Lodge remained standing. Part of it, Hope House, was built in the 18th century before the mine as a farmhouse, and when the mine was opened, it was used as the colliery managers’ office. After the mine closed, it was used as a pub but closed in 2012. In feedback from residents, retaining the Lodge has been mentioned often. The Forum also held a workshop to discuss the future of the Whitburn Lodge site, which showed that the majority of residents were in favour of retaining the building. Over the years of being empty, the Lodge building has fallen into disrepair. From meetings with the owners, it was clear that they were not minded to retain the Lodge. The Forum considered asking the council to direct the owners to make repair to the derelict building to improve its appearance, however, the owners said this would be too expensive and a cheaper option would be for them to apply for demolition. Furthermore, the Forum found it difficult to obtain historical information for Hope House, and there was a concern that retaining Hope House would prevent future development of this site. The Forum therefore decided not to include this building as a heritage asset. However, the Whitburn Lodge site has retained another important heritage asset, which are the pit gates and mining plaques that serve as a reminder of where the mine used to be. The old pit gates are the only remainder of the colliery left standing. The history on these gates was provided by the Marsden Banner Group 1, which aims to preserve the mining and industrial heritage in the local area. They have a Lodge Banner on display in Whitburn Library. The old pit gates now form the entrance to the car park for the Whitburn Lodge. They stand in their original position. Former Whitburn pitman and local artist Bob Olley designed two plaques, which were added to the gate posts. Bob Olley is a north east artist who worked as a miner in Whitburn. The plaques show miners at work, and both show the words ‘Whitburn Colliery 1872-1968’.'

'115 King Street (numbered 83 in the middle of the 19th century) was the draper's shop of Robert Chapman, JP, from 1836 to 1886.
In 1883 Robert expanded his King Street shop to the design of the very well-known South Shields architect J.H. Morton. Additional storeys were added in a rather attractive Dutch style. In a roundel on the gable Robert added the inscription 'Rebuilt RC 1883'.
The building is mentioned on page 641 of 'The Buildings of England, County Durham, by Martin Roberts, Nikolaus Pevsner and Elizabeth Williamson', Yale University Press, 2021 as follows: On the south side of King Street, 'Nos. 113-115, with brick and stone upper floors with a curved bay under a Dutch gable, dated 1883'.
Morton was responsible for many excellent buildings in and around South Shields.
To provide further information, Robert Chapman was a well-known figure in Victorian South Shields. He was a Borough Councillor, Mayor's Auditor, External Auditor to the South Shields Gas Company, Vice-President of the South Shields Commercial Building Society, a Select Vestryman of St Hilda's Church and a Justice of the Peace.'

'The steps at Comical Corner have been a boat landing place for at least 200 years probably a lot longer. They are clearly shown on the 1860 and 1896 map. Located where Wapping Street meets Shadwell Street. The Direct Ferry to North Shields (AKA the Ha’penny Dodger) used go from there. Comical Corner most likely gets its name because there was a bend in the river which caused strong currents which badly affected boats leading to Comical results for those who were watching. This area was the title of a novel by Francis Daniel called the Angel of Comical Corner published in 1897.'

'The Old Ship Inn is in Harton Village on the corner of Marsden Road and Sunderland Road. It was built in 1803 by Thomas Smith. A crest above the main door used to display the date 1803 and show his initial TS and the motto: “By hammer and hand all art doth stand". Presumably linked to the smithy behind the pub. The Old Ship is a former coaching Inn and there is a jelly stone at the corner of the pub which may have been used to allow people to mount their horses or to prevent damage to the corner of the pub or more likely serve both purposes. It is the oldest continuously serving pub in Shields, though Harton Village only became a part of South Shields in 1921.'

'Red House Farm was owned by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, it stretched from Harton to Lizard Lane and included the land between Prince Edward Road and Marsden Road and down to Cauldwell.
The farmhouse itself, was thought to be at least 200 years old and was in 1950 included in a list of buildings considered of special architectural interest by the then Ministry of Town and Country Planning. Red House Farm existed as a farm until 1951 when the land was acquired for housing. The last tenant was Robert Wood who had farmed the land for 64 years.
Part of the farmyard wall is still there at the bottom of the gardens of the northwest end of St Mary’s Avenue, built on the site of this farmyard in the 1950s. It can be seen from the Vigilant pub’s side door. Sadly, the end tower aspect was pulled down earlier this year.”
