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.

Office block on Potter Street
In the Willington Quay area of Wallsend. These were originally the offices of Cleland Shipbuilding Company, which occupied a site on the banks of the River Tyne here. They were built as new post war offices in the 1950's. The shipyard finally closed in 1984, and there have been several owners since. Amec Offshore built oil rigs here in late 20th and early 21st centuries. Biffa waste recycling are the current owners.
