Sewer Gas Lamp, Watts Slope, Spanish City Plaza
This is one of ten surviving Sewer Gas Lamps erected in the Whitley Bay and Monkseaton area between 1900 and 1910 and is Grade II Listed. Although these lamps were once common features of our streets they are now increasingly rare and those combined with sewer vents are rarer still. It illustrates a technology which once transformed everyday existence. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit LinkExternal link
