Limestone Boundary Walls

These boundary walls were added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'These impressive limestone boundary walls extend for a length of about 150m, from the passageway adjacent to 20 North Lane, in the east, to the passageway adjacent to Laburnum Cottage, in the west. The walls, which vary in height from 2.5 to 4.0m, are probably Georgian in origin and are representative of the village's original boundary walls. The walls benefit from additional architectural features, including 7 large buttresses (4 brick and 3 limestone), & have a mixture of limestone, brick & concrete coping stones.
The visual appearance of the wall is further enhanced where an adjacent section of raised footpath is supported by a small limestone retaining wall, topped with a simple timber post and rail handrail. In South Tyneside Council's East Boldon Conservation Area Character Appraisal, these walls are considered to be of "significant" heritage value.'
