Some regulars might remember this sweet shop.
Where was it? It's not in Hebburn. Answer later if needed:

Hello Alistair (Coulson),

You're correct - well done.

The shop was located on Gladstone Street/Bewicke Road, Wallsend.

Here's a more recent picture of the old shop (white building) from Google:

As Alistair said - Howdon. Corner of Bewicke Road and Gladstone Street. First stop for sweets after walking through the tunnel.

You have the location spot-on, Patrick.

Used to cycle past on the way to work each morning. As Patrick says stopping off point from the Tunnel for sweets (and a paper and a can of pop) each day).
