Yes the Tyne could build Naval vessels but the river is just not suited for that I think.
These days it appears that everything in modular built and finally assembled in a large dock. The only place that would have been suitable was Jarrow slack area but that’s now just I think a big car lot. Is the river itself suitable downriver of Jarrow for ship access and exit ?
The biggest success in the NE has been the Nissan car plant and that if I remember was that the Unions saw sense or the workers took it into their own hands forgot what happened.
Bring factories back to the U.K. type thing. Yes please!
