1. This file and photos are exactly the same as South Shields S86.04. The names in the Book are the same for all three Smith Dock locations. There is a copy for Middlesbrough in Teesside University. [Unconfirmed].
2. The yard at North Shields, which had grown over the years to encompass a large site on the north bank of Tyne but was derelict by the 1990s, was then reclaimed when Places for People bought the land in 2006. New housing, as of 2023 comprising the Plateau, a crescent of townhouses, the Smokehouses, two apartments blocks, and a further row of low-rise contemporary terraced homes, has been completed so far. The plan is to eventually construct up to 850 homes, however, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recession in the UK has delayed any immediate further development.
3. A graving dock, (Collingwood’s Dock, HER ref. No. 2081)) and possibly an associated ship repair yard had been in existence at the Bull Ring from the 1750s. In 1883, due to lack of space at their yard in South Shields, Edwards and Sons, shipbuilders, purchased Collingwood’s dry dock at the Bull Ring. The yard was speedily upgraded, involving the formation of a new river frontage and the construction of two new docks which replaced the old dock. The first of these new docks was completed in 1885, the second in 1889. In 1893, J and G Edwards acquired Hepples yard (previously Fawcus’s yard), which lay to the south, then amalgamated with Smith’s yard to the north in 1899, forming (Smith’s Dock Co. Ltd.). Another graving dock was opened at the Bull Ring Yard in 1910, and one of the two early Edwards’ docks was extended. By 1930 the yard had four functioning graving docks. After World War Two another graving dock, previously run by Baird Bros., was added to the north side the Smith’s Dock Company yard. The yard is derelict with all fittings and fixtures removed. The shipyard retains six dry docks, a steel weighbridge, stone and concrete retaining walls dating to 1920s, crane tracks, foundations of office block, platers’ shed, tinsmiths’ shop, pump house etc, capstans etc etc. Archaeologically recording in advance of development.
