This cow is the same breed I remember in the 1950s heading past the Lord Nelson to be milked. Happy days.

I'm almost sure I'm thinking of the same herd..I moved up to lukes lane around 1968 from hebburn new town into a brand new council house..even at that time the whole ring road around the estate wasn't even complete..but I do remember a small herd of cows being walked from some fields just up what I still call the country road which ran up to Monkton coke works and over to Monkton village..this was a daily occureance..those fields are now a big brand new private housing estate..distant memories..but good ones 👍

Was it the same Lawsons farm that opened onto Johnson Avenue. It was behind our house in Wilkinson Avenue I thought it closed in the early 1950’s , perhaps they moved somewhere else. I remember one of Mrs Belford’s sons who lived in Glen Street married a Lawson daughter. Hu
