1968 by David Wynne. A bronze statue commissioned for the new Civic Centre. The 'River God Tyne' is one of eight rivers represented as sculptures of 1786 on the front of Somerset House in London. The original mask was surmounted by a basket of coals surrounded by motifs symbolising the Tyne valley. Wynne's sculpture portrays the river God in human form. He has a fountain within his outstretched hand coursing a constant flow of water across his torso. Originally patinated a dark black colour, the figure has slowly turned green and brown by the running water.

1985 by David Hamilton. This brick and tile structure contains a ventilation shaft for the Metro system. The ceramic relief marks the achievements of Sir Charles Parsons (1854-1931), the designer of Turbinia, a turbine powered vessel. The designs pressed into the clay are based on Parson's engineering drawings. Commissioned in 1982 as part of the 'Art on the Metro' scheme run by Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive to enliven the Metro network. Approximately 3m high hexagonal sculpture. Orange terracotta tiles. The patchy orange and brown gives a sense of iron, perhaps of rusty iron.
The sculpture is listed Grade II with the following description:
Details
Relief sculpture, 1982-85, designed by David Hamilton, commissioned by Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive to clad a concrete ventilation shaft for an underground Metro tunnel.
DESCRIPTION: the sculpture is free-standing on the N pavement of Blackett Street. It stands approximately 3m (9.8ft) high and is hexagonal in plan. The surface is covered in orange-brown terracotta tiles of differing sizes and shapes with a slightly rough, hand-finished texture. At the base is a chamfered plinth covered in small tiles. Above the plinth the six vertical faces all have relief mouldings of abstracted machinery parts taken from Parsons’ engineering drawings. The deeper, lower panels depict two alternating images of an abstracted cog and machine part and the narrower, upper panels depict two similar machine parts which also alternate. The upper sections of the six faces have offset ventilation louvres partially formed from stacks of abstracted machine parts. The sculpture has a hexagonal pointed roof of small tiles with ridge tiles to the angles.

1982 by David Kemp. An abstract sculpture in metal. This is a wheeled horse and carriage made from a complex of metal and scrap, incorporating objects which reference the transport theme. The piece contrasts with the vitreous enamel finishes of the station and the subject matter alludes to the earliest form of rail transport.

1994/5 by David Gross. A community carving in timber. A collaboration with King George Comprehensive School. The piece, which lies close to a pond, is an upturned boat with a sheltered seat inside. The artist, David Gross, described the concept behind the sculpture: "The dream boat will be a vessel for voyages of the imagination rather than a physical trip over water. As ordinary ships pick up limpets and barnacles along with scratches and scats, which are evidence of their travels, the dream boat will be encrusted with small relief carvings of images from an imaginary journey. Its thick walls will surround you quietening outside interferences helping you to focus on the calm still waters of the pond while you day dream".

1994 by Chris Sell. This is a community carving in timber, part of a waymarking scheme of the Great North Forest. The piece comprises of two wooden posts surmounted by a sun and a cockerel.

It was erected by public subscription through the Newcastle Evening Chronicle following the death of the former hero. The statue was originally located in Northumberland Street but it was relocated in 1999 nearer to St. James Park football stadium. There is another statue of Jackie Milburn in his birthplace of Ashington.

1988 by Robert Olley. This fibreglass statue commemorates John Simpson Kirkpatrick, who was born in South Shields in 1892. He was a member of the Australian Army Medical Corps and carried many dead and wounded soldiers with his donkey from the battleground at Gallipoli during the First World War.
