Description
This School is first shown on the Ordnance Survey second edition map of 1896. It is located at the southern end of Schoolhouse Lane and to the west of School Houses (HER19163). The main building is set within an enclosure with small buildings to the north and east, possibly toilets. To the west is a separate smaller enclosure with another building, possibly a house.
The main building was still standing (amongst modern buildings to the west and north) as of 2023, though in very poor condition with the eastern part collapsed. It was constructed from roughly dressed stone with dressed stone window surrounds, brick chimneys and hearths, and a series of steeply pitched slate roofs. There were separate Girls and Boys entrances.

Description
This row of buildings labelled 'School Houses' is shown on the Ordnance Survey first edition map of 1862 as an irregular row aligned NW-SE at the southern end of Schoolhouse Lane. To the south and southeast are gardens. To the south of these is an 'Old Shaft' (HER3697). The buildings had been demolished by the second half of the 20th century. It is not clear whether any of the buildings was a school, but the buildings seem likely to be workers cottages.

Description
This site was nominated for the Newcastle local list in 2022. The description reads:
'Believed to be from the mid 19th century, most unusual. 3.5 meters tall, built of stone and buttressed on the North side and built of bricks on the South Side. Was part of the boundary wall of Jesmond Cottage, believed to have been adapted as a south facing walled garden - the bricks would have been better able to "catch the sun".'

Description
This group of stones was recorded in 2018 by Wardell Armstrong for the ‘Sunderland’s Forgotten Stones’ project (event 4887 report 2018/143 and background in event 4800 report 2018/85), and again in 2023 by the Vedra Hylton Community Group (event 5565 report 2024/30).
The large blocks of worked stone, some of which have cuts and recesses that may be related to lifting and joining the blocks, were hypothesised to have originated from a Roman bridge or weir spanning the River Wear at South Hylton, and to have been transferred to this site following dredging in the 19th century.
During the 2018 project, the stones were recorded by laser scanning, and identified as likely to be from dismantled dockyards and quaysides that were once common along the banks of the River Wear.
During the 2023 project, the stones were recorded by field survey, and identified as Roman masonry based on the presence of dovetail cramp slots.
