Part of a dish was found by Mr R.A.S. Cowper during the clearance of the site which is now Swan House roundabout, Pilgrim Street. This was the bottom part of a dish, in dull red-brown fine sandy fabric. It had a clear brown glaze on the inside with concentric circles of pale green slip enclosing a horse, with floral decoration behind, in dark and pale green slip outlined by sgraffito. The fragment is dated 1611. This sort of pottery and decoration is typical of wares made at Wanfried-an-der-Werra, a tributary of the Weser, in Hesse in Germany. The dish would have had a hammer-headed rim. Wanfried ware (also known as Hessian ware) is the earliest slipware in north-west Europe and has a date range from 1575-1635. No exact parallel has so far been found for the Newcastle horse. In England there have been finds of Wanfried ware at twelve sites at Norwich, Colchester, Dover Castle, Faversham, Lincoln, Southampton and Plymouth. Seven of the twelve sites lie between Norwich and Dover, suggesting that the pottery was traded across from Holland and then up and down the English coast. In the second half of the 17th century the pottery industry moved doen to the middle Weser and made a lighter pink ware. This was also traded with the Low Countries but of the 19 finds, 8 are north of the Humber, possibly indicating trade between Bremen or Holland and the north of England. Sherds were found in excavations in Newcastle at the South Curtain Wall 1960-61 (AA 4, XLIV) and the Carmelite Friary in 1965 and 1967 (AA 4, XLVI).

Remains of a Roman folding spoon were found in a gully in a field system north of Hadrian's Wall and just west of Segedunum Fort during excavations by Tyne and Wear Museums in 1993. The bowl and handle were found with pottery dated to the second half of the third century AD. The object is on display at Segedunum Roman Fort Museum (small-find number WS CA520). The spoon is made of bronze with traces of tinning and a corroded iron rivet which has fixed the bowl of the spoon in its folded position. It was of purse or fiddle shape. It measures 42mm x 26mm. The handle is 65mm in length and 5mm wide and is cast in the form of a crouching lion, its forelegs outstretched to hold the end of the bowl. Its moulded tail has a trilobed finial. The spoon would have been hinged to a number of other implements, probably a knife and a spike, held together by a rivet. Folding spoons were eating implements. The accompanying spike was used for extracting meat from shellfish. Other known examples of folding spoons (Richborough, Chepstow, Snakeoak villa, Traprain Law, Hockwold-cum-Wilton, London, Wroxeter, Kirkby Thore, Cambridge, Chesters Roman Fort, Colchester, Ely, Cologne are silver and had six or seven attachments (including a sieve and fork). They are the Roman equivalent of a 'Swiss army knife', made for travelling.

Dredging in a former sea entrance to part of South and Hendon Docks for an outfall pipe encountered the submerged remains of a vessel. The remains were recorded by divers in-situ and the salvaged ironwork visually inspected on land. The craft was probably a coastal collier which had struck the harbour entrance pier and sunk in the early years of the 20th century. That only the lower parts of the superstructure survived, suggested that the top of the ship had been removed in previous dredging operations.

An Anderson shelter is located on the embankment to the south of the metro bridge on the right hand side of Tanner's Bank. It has obviously been dumped here but is a quite complete example.

On 10th February 1942 a single fighter Hawker Hurricane MK1 crashed into an orchard opposite High Marley Hill radio mast due to bad weather. The pilot Sergeant James D'Arcy Lees Graham, who was 24 years old, was killed. He was from Carstairs Alberta and was a member of the Royal Canadian Airforce, based at RAF Usworth.

Shown on Ordnance Survey third edition of c.1916. Two storey, two-bay houses with pitched roofs. The properties are not identical however, and show more individualism than other streets in Cullercoats, with different gables, hips and building footprints. Nos. 30 and 32 use brick detailing to enliven their elevations. No. 7 uses roughcast render on the upper floors above the red brick. Other properties on this street are entirely rendered. The street sees a great variety in doorways. Some have decoratively carved timber hoods. No. 22 has a round open porch with composite columns. The doors themselves also display a variety of styles and colours. No. 24 has an interesting concertina style window. A few examples of Edwardian glazing bars, with the top sash smaller than the bottom sash survive.

Includes the one storey double fronted Beacon House (No. 42) with a navigation beacon. Monk's Haven has an elaborate stone porch with Roman composite pilasters. These grand properties have doorways in a stone surround. Monk's Haven has interesting double-height castellated bay windows. Some properties use decorative ironwork on or above bay windows but much detail has been lost. Monk's Haven retains its rainwater goods - large decorative hoppers and square brackets with fleur-de-lys motifs. There are former service buildings at the rear of Beverley Terrace with good functional architecture. There are gardens opposite the terrace. The central part of the gardens was a lawn tennis ground in 1898. By 1916 the space had been landscaped and plated and it has remained the same since. It forms part of a wildlife corridor. The gardens are sunken and are similar to Panama Gardens at Whitley Bay.
