Tyne Dock Arches for Carol

Here are a few images of the long gone Tyne Dock Arches. It's a good idea requesting a particular photo as I might just have one.

Thank you Norman, it brings back memories of going to the market on a Saturday morning with my mother then an ice cream in Minchellas.

That picture of the Ship & Royal brought back great memories of nights out in Shields, always the first pub visited at the start of the evening. Also a favourite for Sunday lunches.

Catherine Cookson's childhood area. She referred to the Arches in several of her books

Hi Elizabeth,
Incase others dont know, My wife Joan has been watching a lot of Catherine Cookson on the Drama Channel 20 on Sunday afternoons. This Sunday at 2-20pm it's 'The tide of life' 3 hours long. They are on every Sunday.

As a child, we used to catch the bus from there to go to my nana's house in Hebburn. and as a young woman, my mam walked through there to get to work at Reyrolles, not sure if that was every day or when the buses weren't running for whatever reason.

My dad was often on guard duty with the Home Guard at the Arches during WWII - they had one rifle between quite a few!
