Another History lesson for our 'Jarrow Neighbours'

Posted by Norman Dunn on 13/2/2026, 2:45 pm

As usual I've added locations to the 1953 aerial view of Jarrow.
Can my regulars remember my true story about the German Bomber that missed the Tyne Bridges & hit the 'Spillers Flour Mills' in WW2? & then flew low over the Tyne passed Hebburn & tried to bomb 'Shell Mex' oil tanks in Jarrow, missed and hit Queens Rd & Dunn St school. This aerial view. shows the Jarrow target not long after WW2.
