GB, your comment made me look at the photo again, No ladies and strange to see a man with a baby and pram, in those times babies care was very much the mothers’ job.

I thought the same thing, apart from the chap with the pram, take a look there could also be a bike, has a totally different hat to the other gentlemen who all seem to have caps on??

I enlarged the picture and I think it’s all pram wheels , large and small. He looks like a young boy, with the pram.

You are right Sheila the wheels belong to the pram, there appear to be 2 large wheels and a small one.

Building at the rear, looks like the old pump house.

The person beside the pram is dressed differently than the rest of the men, boots and not a typical Geordie peak cap.

Well spotted GeordieboyNS.
Joseph that is the Wooden Boat House on the 2nd lake (before our time though.).
That young lad with the 'perambulator' is probably one of the wealthy Ellison family who owned Hebburn Hall.
The men are probably Park workmen .
Here is a similar pram wth two large & 2 smaller wheels.

Good morning Norman, the picture you sent of the pram looks like a Silver Cross make, one of the RR of baby carrages
