Post Box, Front Street, Monkseaton
This dual aperture post box stands in front of short row of shops one of which was once the village post office. This box dates from the reign of Elizabeth II although dual aperture boxes first appeared in 1899. They were designated Type C boxes and were first introduced in London to help pre-sort mail into 'London and Abroad' and 'Country'.

Friends Meeting House, Front Street, Monkseaton
This is an interesting mid to late Georgian survival which was extended and adapted in the early 20th century, initially for residential use. It is thought that the property, which still retains its original thick stone walls, originated as a single storey cottage for farmworkers. The early 20th century century alterations illustrate its transformation to a higher status private dwelling and then to a Quaker Meeting House in 1910.

Monkseaton House, 56 Front Street, Monkseaton
This property was described in William Weaver Tomlinson's 1893-book, 'Historical Notes on Cullercoats Whitley and Monkseaton', as, "the large brick house above the brewery", which, at that time, belonged to Mrs. Elliott. In an advertisement, which appeared in the Newcastle Courant on the 28th June 1806, the house was described as, "a neat, new-built mansion-house situated in the healthy and pleasant village of Monkseaton".

Old Brewery Wall, Relton Terrace, Monkseaton
Whilst the first mention of a brewery with malting and an adjoining dwelling house appears to have been in an 1803-Newcastle Courant sale advertisement, it is thought that this wall dates to 1683 when a brewery was first built on this site. As such, it is the last remaining evidence of the brewery building that once dominated Monkseaton Village, a building which was described by William Weaver Tomlinson in his 1893 book, 'Historical Notes on Cullercoats Whitley and Monkseaton ' as, "the most conspicuous building in the village, its whitewashed walls and red pantiled roofs catch the eye from many points of view". The brewery continued to operate until shortly after 1934, when it was then sold to Newcastle Breweries who soon demolished it to make way for the present Monkseaton Arms.
