As usual I've added a bit of History to the photo. What a marvellous thing Mr Reyrolle did for not just Hebburn people but for all the neighbouring towns people as well. As Ive said on the photo Reyrolles employed thousands of workers .
Sadly

Mr Alphonse Reyrolle or Mr Henry Clothier who took over after his death have never been commemorated. Hopefully that might be addressed one day.
PS My father Billy Dunn worked there for 48 years in the machine shop.
