Weekend Header down Jarrow 121 years ago

That's the Charles Palmer memorial in the left & the Baptist Chapel which is on Grange Rd corner. The parents of our Board Admin, Mac Cummings attended the Baptist Chapel. On the right at the junction is Christ Church.

All very familiar even in the 40's and 50's but the grey structure in the background is puzzling me.
Given its location I assume that it was a Palmers building but was it?

Yes I used that map too Norman that's why I assumed it was a Palmers building.
As a lad from Jarrow I don't remember a grey building. Of course "my time" was 40 years after the photo so it could have been demolished but it was usual for the older buildings to remain well into the 40's and 50's. Photos of Jarrow in the early 1900's are structurally the same as those in the 50's.
So I repeat my question in a different way...."Does anyone have any photos of the grey building on the Palmers site!!

I hate not knowing so I did more research. The plan from 1887 on the link below suggests that it was a building occupied by the Pattern Shop in the Engine Works Dept.
Still later photos would be appreciated.

Thanks Norman. Yes. Thank you for that.As a result I found this "face on image" from 1952 which is almost certainly the building.
At the time it was The Sterling Foundry Specialities Ltd Factory.
