Header photo from the bottom of Ellison St

Todays header is from 1987 from where Bonnacord St once stood back to back with the Ellison St block that ran from Lamport St to the riverside.

Mr Andrew Leslie who started the Shipyard in Hebburn was born 1919 in the Shetlands. Bonnacord is the Motto of Aberdeen where he worked and why the street got its name.

A piece of history I didn't know, yet served my time there for 5 years. Thanks Norman
