Caretaker's Lodge at Old Boys' High School, 27a Mowbray Road

This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'In the 1880s a group of prominent businessmen wanted a boys high school to be built in South Shields where the pupils could go straight on to university.
Lord Aberdare laid the foundation stone on 29 May 1884. Just a year later, in May 1885, 37 boys were registered and took up their places in the new High School. The two-storey building cost £6000 to build, it was designed by the Newcastle architects Oliver & Leeson and had a separate lodge for the caretaker.
In 1936 the new South Shields High School for Boys was built at St Mary's Avenue, Harton. The old Boys High School building was demolished in about the 1970s, but the Caretaker's Lodge is still there and is now a private residence.'
