These remains housed an engine built by Robert Stephenson in the early 19c. for pumping water from the coal mines below. Every pump stroke lifted about 195 galls and with one stroke every 10 seconds this removed over 1,500,00 gallons per day.

The bascule bridge at the mouth of St Peter's Basin, a trendy new marina surrounded by smart new housing. Seen on a largely traffic-free route along the north side of the Tyne which is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/ and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/).

Dist:0.1km<br/>View NW, towards Riverside Junction (immediately to the left) and Newcastle (Central); ex-North Eastern Riverside Line, (Newcastle -) Riverside Junction - Walker - Percy Main (- Tynemouth) , electrified in 1904. (Tyneside electric railway services were usurped by DMUs in 1967, prior to the inauguration of the Tyne & Wear Metro in 1980). Byker station closed on 5/4/54 and is now replaced by a Byker station on the Metro opened 14/11/82. The Riverside Line lost its by then exiguous passenger service in 7/73, but goods continued along at least part of the line until 25/9/87.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Smart modern waterfront housing on the St Peter's Basin development. The area was once, as its name implies, given over to rope works in conjunction with the shipbuilding industsry on the Tyne. The promenade is part of a largely traffic-free route along the north side of the Tyne which is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/).
