Post Box, Oakland Road, Monkseaton
This post box dates from the reign of Queen Victoria and stands at the end of Oakland Road. The keen-eyed will note that the box does not bear a royal cypher on the door nor do the words 'Post Office' appear anywhere on the box. It also has a high aperture. This type of box is known as an 'Anonymous' box and first appeared in 1879 and was produced until 1883. As the area on which the box is located was farmland until the early part of the 20th century, this box must have been relocated here at some subsequent date.

Sewer Gas Lamp, Brantwood Avenue, Monkseaton
This is one of ten surviving Sewer Gas Lamps erected in the Whitley Bay and Monkseaton area between 1900 and 1910 and is Grade II Listed. Although these lamps were once common features of our streets they are increasingly rare, and those combined with sewer vents are rarer still. This is an intact example with a complete glass lantern, and not withstanding its humble nature, this is an attractive gas standard with a fluted cast-iron base and ornamental brackets. The lamp is also an example of a technology which once transformed everyday existence. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk
