I worked for Excel Tenpin Bowling as a mechanic for 3 years, my brother also worked for them at Jarrow, at one time there were 6 of us Hebburn lads working for Excel Bowling.
Here is an image of myself, Paul Perry and Ian Young that was taken by Paul Perry in the car park of the bowling alley in about 1965/66. The houses in the background are part of the Crown & Anchor Terrace.
