 The station's chimney was demolished in 1949, along with remaining structures of the Tyne Iron Works, which had stood next to the power station throughout its operation.The main turbine and boiler building was a locally listed building, standing for over 110 years as a monument to the important role that Tyne and Wear played in the development of electrical supply.The building had been considered for the more protected Listed Building status, but the decision was taken in May 2004 not to promote it.
