C pit I cannot remember that Pit. Not that there would be anything to see other than a wall.

Was that land redeveloped by the time I started Hebburn Palmers in January of 1958 ? A Leslie’s stockyard ?

I could just never noticed it as would have gone down Caledonian St. to work from Argyle St.

The wall was mainly on Lyon streetWhich was further along from Caledonian street which took you downto Palmers if you worked in Leslies shipyard it was down Ellison street.
