The properties on the left are long gone, but amazingly for Hebburn the ones on the right are still standing. Hopefully that little girl will see this header

Is the photo taken looking towards Reyrolle’s joiners shop. It looks as if it does.

I cannot remember Glen St looking like that as did not have a reason to go there other than going to Larter&Halliday’s garage with Dad.

It was not until the 80’s that I found out that my Jackson Grandparents had live there in 1913 ish. They lived in the dormer bungalows on the right. Ann’s sister lived at one time in the terraced houses further down on the right.

Pity the bungalows on the left were demolished.

Any photos of the time taken from closer to Station Road ?

Yes you are looking at Reyrolle's Joiners shop at the end of Glen St Allan. Larter & Halliday started off on Hedgeley Road at the old Fire Station. Then they moved onto Glen St at the back of Roys (Station Hotel)

I lived on the right, 60 Glen Terrace. I believe Glen Terrace is still there.

Is that the milkman behind her with his electric float. Used to work in blacks the builders just up the road from there on the right. Remember pulling a big hand cart around the streets full of sand cement and bricks, had to get the balance right or hit a bump and all was lost.

We lived there in the early 50’s. I was born in 1950 and lived there till 1956.
Right around where the lamp post is in the picture.

I remember Lyn and Betty Charlton living on the right in a dormer bedroom house. but don’t remember their number. I remember so many people in the late 1940’s/60’s. My best friend lived at 94 Glen Street, Mary Campbell. Mrs Mckie’s shop is on the left after the Terrace houses . Betty Hannah lives on the left, I think in the second house as I think the Sams lived on the corner, but my memory might be wrong, it was along times go.

Sheila, I spent a lot of time at the Hannah’s house as a kid, they were very good to me. I didn’t have grandparents and they treated me as a grandchild.

That is a nice memory Kathleen. I remember Betty and her Mum. Betty was a little older than me but we knew each other from church socials. As I mentioned to her relative, she always had perfect face make up.

Sheila, Betty Hannah worked at the Store Chemist on the cosmetic counter, that’s why her makeup was always perfect

Kathleen, I didn’t remember where Betty worked, but that explains the perfect make up.

It was the second house from the end Sheila. I remember Kathleen coming to Nannas and Grandas house.
