St. Bede's, 1-4 Station Road

These buildings were added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'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).'
