Walker's Buildings, Sunderland. Built in 1926 for Walkers the Jewellers on the corner of High Street West and Bridge Street. All clad with cream terracotta.

Fulwell Pumping Station was built in 1853, designed by Thomas Hawksley. Constructed for the Sunderland and South Shields Water Company it began operating by 1856, powered by two 70 horsepower rotative pumping engines. The site is still operational using electric pumps. The enginehouse and attached boilerhouse is listed Grade II.

Corder House and Sydenham House were built as a cafe, shop and offices between 1889 and 1891. The architect was Frank Caws and the contractors David and John Rankin. The terracotta is by J C Edwards of Ruabon. An eclectic mixture of Gothic and Baroque/Flemish styles. I was not surprised to learn that Frank Caws had his own office in these buildings.
