Eight cottages were built in the 1930s. They are semi-detached and single storey. A stone plaque records their opening by Lord Glamis in 1937. The cottages are set back off the road and grouped in a crescent around an open space.

Built in 1877. A large plain stone Victorian villa with some modest enlivening touches. There is also a pretty stable block.

Built in 1877. Stands in a generous churchyard. Built of coursed sandstone and slate in a simple Early English style with grouped lancet windows. The eastern part of the churchyard dates from before the pit village and has a low battered boundary wall, a number of trees and some quality monuments. Consecrated on 15th November 1877 by the Bishop of Durham, Charles Baring. The church was built to seat 254 people. The church cost £3000 and money was raised by public subscription. The first vicar was Rev. Samuel White (1874-1891). Rev. William John Wingate (1892-1896). Rev. William Darnell Croudace (1897-1898). Rev. John Arbuckle (1899-1928). Rev. Francis William Probert (1929-1958). Rev. Gordon Scott (1959-1962). Rev. Alan Gales (1963-1994). Priest in Charge Rev. Stephen Gavin Radley (1996-2001). Rev. Robert Keith Hopper (2002 - present). In 2004 Hillside Parish was formed (Lobley Hill and Marley Hill). The first recorded baptism was Herbert W Coates on 18th November 1877. The first funeral was James Littleton on 17th December 1877. The first marriage was William Spencer Telford and Mary Gray Thirlaway on 16th January 1878. The first sexton (gravedigger and bell ringer) was William Howe Dye. He was killed in an accident at Marley Hill in May 1880. The church has an entrance porch. This leads into a meeting space. A glazed screen with double doors separates this from the nave. The rood screen has been re-sited at the back of the nave. It used to separate the nave and chancel. It is a memorial to the First World War dead. On the right side of the nave is a Second World War memorial and the Marley Hill Miners memorial. The stained glass windows on the north side of the nave are dedicated to Cuthbert Berkley (died 27th January 1912). They depict Christ and saints Peter and Paul. The south side windows are in memory of the Berkley family (Cuthbert, his wife Barbara and son Robert William. They depict the angel of resurrection, and the angels of faith and hope. Cuthbert Berkley lived at Marley Hill House at High Marley Hill. He was the viewer and mining engineer for John Bowes & Partners. In 1862 Cuthbert was a churchwarden at Whickham and was a leading figure in the formation of Marley Hill parish. At the front of the nave is an organ, built by Nicholson of Newcastle around 1870. The chancel is an open space as the choir stalls have been removed. The sanctuary was removed in 2004. The east end windows were dedicated on Palm Sunday 1893 to the memory of Rev. Samuel White. They depict visits to the sick and hungry. The oval window above shows the Holy Spirit descending as a dove. Through the door to the left is the vestry. An extension was built onto the vestry in the early 20th century. The two bells in the belfry were probably cast by Taylors of Loughborough. The church hall was built in 1961.

Opened 28th March 1925. Built as part of the town's war memorial (see also HER 7284). The hospital extension included a pavilion, nurses home and administration block. In the entrance hall there was plaque 4 feet 6 inches high and 2 feet 6 inches wide. The plaque commemorates the opening of the building in 1925. The plaque had a wavy border and shows in half relief a physician and a child holding his hand. In his other hand the child holds a vase. The plaque also shows a fluted column and a bird. The hospital was demolished in 2000. The site is now occupied by Tynemouth Court.

Conservation Area which includes part of the old town moor (HER 4356), Holy Trinity Church (HER 4421) and churchyard, Donnison School (HER 4767), merchant seamen's almshouses (HER 4766) and a former orphanage (HER 4768).

Cross of Sacrifice. 5m high on a Portland Stone octagonal base. A wall behind with two piers. "1939-1945 HERE ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF HIS MAJESTYS FORCES WHO DIED IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND WERE CREMATED" {www.newmp.org.uk}.

Shown on Ordnance Survey first edition opposite the stables (HER 5228). Former estate farmstead arranged around three sides of a rectangular courtyard. The buildings were built to a formal and symmetrical plan and design and probably date from the late 18th century. By 1992 the buildings along the northern and eastern sides of the courtyard were ruinous. The buildings to the western side had been converted to a dwelling house. The east wing of the estate building was demolished without permission in 1992 and a new house built on its site.

This walled garden is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map located to the northwest of Dunston Hill House. It was probably built in the early to mid-19th century of brick with sandstone copings and a stone facing on the outer north wall. It was situated on a south-east-facing slope. Historic maps indicate it had a glasshouse with a heating plant serving it. The garden was recorded prior to clearance in 2021 {1}.

The school was initially endowed in 1711 when Mrs Jane Blackiston left £100 towards the founding of the school in her will, a sum matched by the Reverend Dr Thomlinson, rector of the parish. The school was not completed until 1741. The school was then enlarged in 1825 under the Archdeacon Bowyer, and then rebuilt and enlarged again in 1888/9 by the Reverend Carr. The current overall floor plan of the building stems from the 1888/9 rebuild (though the southern elevation of the main stone schoolrooms almost certainly contains original 18th century material), with additions of a boiler room and emergency exit in the 20th century, as well as the removal of most internal architectural features during the ownership by the local council in the late 20th/early 21st centuries. The school building lies well in the character of School Lane and that part of the Whickham Conservation Area, though the southern frontage was altered by the local council in the late 20th century adding a new access ramp, door and replacement window which do detract from the overall building’s appearance.
Internally, very few features of archaeological, architectural or historic interest remain, with all but one of the building’s 10 fireplaces being blocked and/or removed, and any decorative architectural features, fixtures or fittings having being removed with the departure of the council.
