Historic Passageways (7) Leading from Front Street

This site was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'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).'
