It's amazing that there used to be so much industry in Hebburn. I remember as a young child looking out of the kitchen window of my nana's flat in Hardie Court. You could see all the way down to the river and dozens of tall cranes working on the ships.

This photo was posted to the Pictorial Hebburn Facebook group. It was taken in Wallsend by Ian Hobson and I think it is such a haunting image. It says so much.
