Where is Green Street in South Shields?

Posted by Llyn Green on 2/11/2024, 7:15 pm

Does anyone know where Green Street is in South Shields? (postcard from 1/11/2024 posting)
I have tried to find it on a modern street map, but unable to find any Green Street.
I have an Old Ordinance Survey Map dated 1895 and I searched all over with my big magnifying glass, but still couldn't find it.
I did find the best street name I have ever come across though--- PENNY PIE STAIRS.

I think it is now called New Green Street and it is in Laygate

Green Street, marked Red on the map, was just off Laygate.

There was a guy there know as penny Johnny who sold second hand nuts bolts and washers. Some folk laughed at him but he lived in Cleadon and ran a Merc.

Re Green St., As mentioned it's in the Laygate Lane Area. The last time I was there it was pretty well delapitated with very few shops that remained open.
