The Moorings, 16 Brightman Road, North Shields
This Grade II Listed dwelling was built in 1850 (see architrave of door inscribed 18 MOORINGS 50) and was once the home of Chevalier Henry Anson Brightman who was ennobled by the Emperor of Austria for his contribution, while Austro-Hungarian Consul, to famine relief fund-raising. He lived in North Shields from 1847 until he died in 1902. He helped to form the Tyne Commission, which wrested control of the lower reaches of the river from Newcastle Corporation and deepened the channel to make it accessible to all vessels, thus increasing the prosperity of Tyneside. He also obtained a Custom House at North Shields, so bringing more trade to the lower riparian district. Immediately above the blind panel above the door are engraved the words, "A pioneer for Tyne Improvements by Commissioners".
