A few years ago I wrote posts about my memories of the shops on the corner of Hartleyburn Avenue and Victoria Road West, and the shops on Birtwhistle Avenue. They were saved by Barry Cram on his Hebburn.org website which is sadly no longer available.

I have set up a Wordpress Blog site where I have posted both of those articles in case anyone is interested in reading them. I like to write, so there are other posts on various subjects there too!
