Tuesday's header in old Argyle St.

Todays header shows our younger visitors what Argyle St looked like in the 1800s right through to the mid 1950s. On the left is the Police Station with the Magistrates Courts attached to it before Bewick St. Opposite is St Aloysius school classrooms.

Hi Norman . how well I remember that scene of Argyle Street between the years 1927 to 1939/ 1940 It was then that I was evacuate, my life in Hebburn was never the same again. I am almost sure that I posted my memories of the 'Shops of Argyle Street ' some time back, probably way back when either Mike or Vicky where in the chair, have a look Norman if not found I will dig it out and repost .always interested in any pictures of in and around Argyle Street Cheers

I worked as an apprentice in the butchers shop it was called bakers the butchers around about the top of Dunston Street just along from Keedys the chemist. Mr Baker the owner took over the County Hotel at the same time, as far as memory takes me this was 1950/51.

Hi Bob,
Thanks but I havent got your Shops of Argyle St. This message board I created in 2016 has nothing to do with Mike Ellison's previous one that he passed on to Vikki Lawlor who a few years later closed it.
I can remember the Dry Cleaners on the corner of your Campbell St, Flemings on Ellison st corner, Gambles papershop, Cooks the Hatter next door, the sweetshop next door to the Hedley Schools.
