In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Monkseaton like this:
MONKSEATON, a township in Tynemouth parish, Northumberland; 2½ miles NNW of North Shields. Acres, 1,110. Pop., 421. Houses, 80. The manor belongs to the Duke of Northumberland. The stump of an ancient cross, called the Monk's stone, is here; and a gallows of the prior of Tynemouth stood near it. There are a Wesleyan chapel, a large brewery, and several collieries.
