Foundry Cottages, Tyne Green Road
According to the Hexham Local History Society leaflet 'Industrial Area and Tyne Green', the area behind these cottages was "the yard of the former Hexham Iron Works ... (most of the works themselves have disappeared). It [the works] is reputed to have started in 1683. In the 19th century, ironstone was smelted on the site. Late in the century it produced fireplaces. In the 20th century, the works had a chequered history, eventually closing down in 1969.".

Old tannery
According to the Hexham Local History Society leaflet 'Industrial Area and Tyne Green', "This is the last remaining significant tannery building in Hexham. The part that still straddles the Cockshaw Burn is probably the oldest part of a building that has been added to and subtracted from over nearly two centuries. The role of this building in the tanning process is not clear. The vaults across the burn have no obvious signs of openings or evidence that any type of waterpower was used. Certainly by 1870 the machinery was being driven by steampower.".
