Tom Barker pleased Leslies is about to be developed

Posted by Norman Dunn on March 19, 2021, 12:36:04

Tom thinks if we cant have a Shipyard on Leslie's site, the next best thing is its going to be developed, along with a Museum of the Yards History . Tom sent photocopies (by Royal Mail) of his msg board post on Mike Ellison's site 8 years ago along with a photo showing his little plea for the Yard to be developed.

Agree. I have raised on this board over many yrs there should have been an integrated site including a maritime museum and that the Ark Royal could have been retained at the site, either mothballed or as part of the museum.

I to have mentioned on this site many times that when The Hebburn Village Housing development was first started 1984 there was going to be a Maritime Museum with HMS Cavalier as the main attraction, shops and a hotel, we are still waiting for them. I think HMS Cavalier is now somewhere down south making money for another borough council.
