Keelman's Way alongside Stella Road
The Keelman's Way (National Cycle Network route 141) is a riverside foot- and cycle-path which runs the width of Gateshead Borough along the south bank of the Tyne. Here it runs along the narrow footway on the north side of Stella Road (B6317) - not an pleasant prospect. Why it has not been diverted onto much more level and attractive riverside path past the Stella Riverside estate is not clear. The Carlisle to Newcastle railway runs to the left.

Stella Staith
Little evidence remains of the Towneley Main Waggonway which brought coal from Stargate Pit to the River Tyne at Stella Staith (without an e). The plaque on this support for the waggonway does not refer to the mining heritage of the area but to Blaydon Races which were run on nearby Blaydon Island and Stella Haugh.

Memorial to the Blaydon Races
The plaque on this short length of wall was erected by the Winlaton Local History Society and commemorates the Blaydon Races, immortalised in a song of the same title. The plaque reads:
Blaydon Races
Official racing started in 1861 on Blaydon island which lay North of here. The song was written in 1862. From 1887 to 1914 the race course was on Stella Haugh, the site of the former Power station.
