Hi Alan,
Ive complained about this for years.
Mr Reyrolle who brought over 12000 well paid jobs to Hebburn has nothing in the Town named after him since Reyrolle Court Flats were demolished in the Glen st area years ago.
Reyrolles had a Clothier High Voltage Building named after Director ( & ex Engineer) Henry Clothier who ran Reyrolles after Mr Reyrolles's death in 1919. That building was demolished not many yrs ago & a Private Housing Estate built on it with street named after birds like Nightingale, Chaffinch,Goldcrest, Robin,Swallow & Swift.
Once again nothing to thank those great men.
We've had a Leslie Ave, Hawthorn Ave & a Palmer Crescent after shipyard owners since the 1950s.
There could be another Ive forgotten
