on google earth I see that the wooden bridge is still there, as a pre teenager I often walked up to it and stood waiting for a steam train to pass under on its way to south shields from Hebburn station..On the left were the allotments, my grandad had one and at the top end Mr Charlton raised his Pigs. He would take his horse and handcart down Cuthbert st back lane to collect old veggies from houses, he would then boil them up in tin baths for feeding the pigs. I also noticed that my old part of Cuthbert St is still a wilderness! why has not been put to good use?
