Walking to school

I have happy memories walking down Tennant Street to the Newtown School every day for many years. Passing the CO-OP , Issy Johnstons paper shop, the cobblers, the Pawn shop then danbys and then Riches stopping to longingly look at the bikes. Then I remember Flynes the cobbler, the wool shop, Alfie Gibsons the record shop, the ice cream shop, and then a general dealers on the the corner - I think it was Charles Street. Crossing over to a green grocer and then a wallpaper and decorators - was it called Welchs ? - and that was only one side of Tennant street - So much history and memories that could be told about one street in Hebburn - I think many 'Posters' on the board could tell many more.
