Garage on Bewicke Road, Willington Quay
Willington Quay is the easternmost suburb of Wallsend. Bewicke Road runs through its centre. Of interest here is the old stone wall behind the garage, which once ran along the side of the River Line railway. This was a loop line of the North Shields to Newcastle Railway, opened in 1879 and closed in 1978.

Potter Street, Willington Quay
This street on the eastern side of Wallsend used to be lined with Victorian terraces, which are long gone. The big fabrication shed on the right was originally part of Cleland Shipbuilding Company, until it closed in 1984. For the next 20 or so years, it was an offshore fabrication yard run laterally by Amec Offshore. It is now owned by a waste recycling company.
