Amber Films 'Hebburn Lakes'

This film shows our Lakes. In the film locals also talk about the Pond behind the Cock Crow Inn (Formerly Monkton Mill Farm on Mill Lane) as if it was a Hebburn Lake and it never was.
That pond is a worked out clay pit, half on Wardley land & half on 'our side'.

A fascinating and interesting video bringing back many memories, when I attended Clegwell School we used to have to run around the lakes as part of PT.
The death of those 4 boys was so sad but you must ask what the parents were thinking of to allow 3 and 4 year olds out around the lake !

Different times Mac, I assume small children living near each other were safe to play or perhaps the parent thought they were safe in the garden in those days, but children are always curious. As I remember they children were cherished and in loving families. I remember Mr & Mrs Hogg an older couple with their first child together. every Sunday with a huge bouquet of flowers for their little sons grave. Mr & Mrs Johnson their first child. Later they had two daughters. Sadly I didn’t know the other two families.
No one would let their child out of their sight after the tragedy. I think of James Bulgers Mum, let go of his hand for a moment to pay for shopping and he was stolen by two 10 year old children who murdered him. Who in a million years could imagine that could happen.
