A mixture of stone houses and flats with infill housing association flats. The older buildings have mostly had their chimney stacks removed, roofs re-covered in artificial slate and new doors and windows inserted, eroding original character.

A pair of semi-detached houses in coursed rubble with stone dressings and a hipped slate roof.

A row of Tyneside flats, some converted to houses. Built in coursed rubble. Only one pair has been cleaned. Most of the roofs and chimney stacks are original but the doors and windows are modern. Front brick walls have been added. To the rear are large extensions.

A pair of shops in an unusual building of Edwardian style in coursed ashlar, and gabled to the front. Spoiled by shutters and satellite dishes.

A shop and ten houses. Built in cleaned coursed rubble with bay windows. Dormers and rooflights vary, as do the roofs of the bay windows and the guttering. The shop has a coloured floodlit fascia, a Dutch blind, an aluminium and formica shopfront and galvanised shutters which have an adverse impact on the Conservation Area.

The finest terrace in Crow Hall Conservation Area. Five houses built in ashlar with slate roofs and full height bay windows. In a pair plus a group of three. The southern pair has built-in attics with dormer windows. Well-wooded front gardens.

St. Alban's Villa has been subdivided into two properties (one is now a surgery). It is built of random rubble with quoins but the south and west elevations are now rendered and painted sage green. The south face is of three bays with a central main door and bay windows. The original slate roof and white brick chimney stack remain. Many of the windows have been replaced.

South View was originally two houses. It is now converted into flats. It has a main range parallel to the road and wings at either end and later extensions. The rear is of random rubble with quoining. The windows are modern casements. The main south face is in cleaned ashlar with simple elegant quoins, cornices, door and window cases. There are bay windows to the ground floor. The roof is artificial slate. Four blocks of housing association flats, Belgrave Court have been built in the grounds, close to the main house.

Designated on 16th January 2007. The boundary is formed by the Great North Road, Sandy Lane and the Sandy Lane Bypass. The CA takes in the grounds of the Old School House and Cottages and the grounds of Sacred Heart School. Most of the Conservation Area forms part of North Tyneside's Green Belt. There is dense tree cover. The CA started life as a small corner of the vast Gosforth Park estate (HER 167). Reverand Ralph Brandling broke up the land and sold it after falling into debt. Much of the land was acquired by shipbuilder Thomas Smith in 1852. In 1856 the land passed to Smith's younger brother William, and then to his son Thomas Eustace Smith. Sacred Heart Church and the Old School House and Cottages were built around 1865. Thomas Eustace Smith responded to the wish of John Besley vicar of Longbenton, in providing a church for the growing population in the north of the parish. The new ecclesiastical parish of North Gosforth was established on 18th May 1865. The Old School House and Cottages were also funded by Thomas Eustace Smith for the education of the children of his estate workers. Sacred Heart Church (HER 9248) is listed grade 2. Around the church grounds is a simple tall sandstone wall. Around the entrance the wall is lower with railings (replacements) and there are two tall square sandstone gate piers, the gablets featuring blind tracery and a lantern. The parish hall was opened in 1999. It is one storey in height with a pitched roof of reconstituted slate. The walls are breezeblocked with a small band of dark brown bricks around the base of the building. A covered walkway between the hall and church compromises the quality of the church. The presbytery is also late C20 in date and is of little architectural quality. It is two storeys, with a pitched unhipped roof in dark tiles. To the north is a flat roofed single storey offshoot. The brickwork is dark cream. The windows are uPVC, one is a three-sided bay. The Old School House and Cottages (HER 9417) originally consisted of a master's house in the cross wing to the west and a schoolroom. R.J. Johnson may have been the architect. The building became one dwelling and two cottages in late Victorian times. Dormers were added and the interior altered. The building has been lost to arson and unlawful demolition. It was of two storeys, the first floor concealed under a steeply pitched unhipped roof. It was built of sandstone with a slate roof. There were multiple cylindrical chimneystacks. The dormers were large and attractive. Each had two pointed arched windows, quatrefoil decoration and bargeboards. The gables of the building also had bargeboards. The original ground floor windows were double chmafered mullions with carved shoulder arched lintels. The doorways had identical surrounds and lintels. There was a three light window in the west elevation and another in the projecting south wing. The doors were timber with ornamental brackets. Behind the former school are the remains of two enclosed yards, probably playgrounds. The boundary walls are high sandstone but that in front of the school house is lower with coping and the remains of iron railings. The CA is rich in mature native trees (sycamore, ash, horse chestnut etc).

Designated in 2005. The boundary of the Conservation Area is based on the historic Monkseaton village core (HER 741 and 742) and streets of housing of special local architectural or historic interest which stretch out north, south and east from the railway station (HER 9378). To the north and east of the village core is late C19 and early to mid C20 terraced and semi-detached housing (e.g. around Windsor Road, Eastfield Avenue and Valley Gardens) and to the south (Abbotsford Place and Norham Road) and mid C20 social housing (e.g. Hillheads). Monkseaton began as a small rural settlement of farms dating back to the time of Henry I (1100-1135) see HER 741. On 8 December 1551 Edward VI granted Monkseaton to Dudley, Earl of Warwick, later created Duke of Northumberland. On his death the village passed to Thomas, Earl of Northumberland. There was coal mining in Monkseaton from 1570. In 1570 it was granted by Elizabeth I to Sir Henry Percy, in whose family it remained until 1632. In 1640 Monkseaton and Whitley passed to the 10th Duke of Northumberland. Several streets have ducal names - e.g. Duke Street and Alnwick Street. Between 1801 and 1901 census records show that there were between 400 and 600 people living in Monkseaton. There were seven farms in Monkseaton in the C19 - Bygate Farm (HER 5875), East Farm, Monkseaton Farm, North Farm, North West Farm, South West Farm (HER 5873) and Village Farm. By 1850 there were 808 acres of arable land and 243 acres of meadow. There were said to be gates at either end of Front Street until about 1845, enclosing the village of farms and compelling travellers to bypass it on the through route around the southern edge (Bygate Road). In the C19 Monkseaton Brewery opened on Front Street (HER 1151). There were several inns - the original Black Horse Inn from 1793 stood where the replacement pub is today, the original Ship Inn was built in 1688, the Three Horse Shoes stood on Chapel Lane and the Seven Stars on The Fold (HER 6923). The Blyth and Tyne Railway (HER 1049) reached Monkseaton in the late 1850s but it was the completion of the route from Newcastle (HER 1086) in 1882 that increased the population. The station (HER 1942) in Monkseaton (Whitley Station until 1882) was built in 1860 and lasted until 1915. The existing station (HER 9378) is larger and was designed by William Bell, NER architect. The arrival of electric trains in 1904 caused the demise of Monkseaton as a rural village. In 1879 the Duke of Northumberland provided land for the Northumberland Village Homes (HER 7877). From 1905 new housing was developed north of the village at North Farm. North-east of the railway line large suburban housing grew around Marine Avenue and long terraces and wide streets of semi-detached houses were built south-east of the station. In 1923 the new Ship Inn was built next to the old one, which was demolished. A new Black Horse Inn was built in the 1930s. St. Peter's Church (HER 11355) was built in 1937 and St. Andrew's in 1938. Souter Park was laid out in the 1920s, named after a local councillor. Bygate Farm and Village Farm were redeveloped by 1916. Inside the original village oval the street pattern remained unchanged but Lyndhurst Road was inserted and The Fold redeveloped. New housing for the commuting middle classes increased in numbers until Monkseaton and Whitley Bay merged. In 1895 Whitley & Monkseaton Urban District Council was established. The two parishes merged in 1912. East Farm was the last working farm in Monkseaton. The land owner, the Duke of Northumberland, sold the farm land to Whitley Bay Council in 1958 for Churchill Playing Fields.
