At Trubshaw Cross, Longport, where an ancient cross once stood, a modern stone cross was erected at the centre of the traffic roundabout in 1949. It stands on a base of 1750 which at one time formed part of a lamp standard set in the middle of the road junction.

To the north-west of the roundabout, between Davenport Street and the canal, stood the factory buildings (recently demolished) [this was the Longport factory] and dwellinghouse dating from about the close of the 18th century and at one time belonging to the Davenports; they were an example of a master potter's house with its works attached.

Another house, of slightly later date, became the Duke of Bridgewater Inn about the middle of the 19th century; it stands in Station Street on the south side of the canal bridge and has a symmetrical three-storied brick front with altered ground-floor windows. Longport Hall, demolished in the 1880's, stood in its own grounds to the south of Trubshaw Cross. 

A view of the garden front in 1843, when the hall was the residence of William Davenport, shows an early-19th-century house with a three-storied central block of three bays flanked by projecting two-storied wings of equal height; another wing is visible at the back.

Between later buildings on the south side of Newcastle Street stands a row of six cottages (nos. 119–29) apparently of 18thcentury date.
