Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In July 2010 Archaeological Research Services Ltd (ARS Ltd) were commissioned by Smiths Gore to undertaken an archaeological desk-based assessment and photographic building recording of St Oswald's Vicarage, Shiney Row, Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland prior to the planning application being granted for the development of seven houses on the site of the vicarage. An approximate date of construction, immediately prior to 1920, has been given to the property based on the evidence of the archive searches and map regression performed in this report. The building is in a good state of repair and retains a lot of its original features. Although the building has no features of historic or architectural merit, the building and its grounds stand out, being situated within a modern housing estate including old colliery housing and with the church serves to heighten the aesthetics of the surrounding area. Due to the lack of historic or architectural merit in this building, it is recommended that further recording work is not warranted and the recording submitted here is sufficient. Low to moderate potential for prehistoric activity, a moderate potential for post-Medieval and a low potential for all other periods is considered for the study site. Given the close proximity to the 'Mill Pit', a 19th century quarry, it is possible that early activity associated with mining may be present on site. It is understood that the study site remained an area of undeveloped land until the construction of the vicarage as yet, previously unknown archaeological deposits may survive within the site.
