A view down Ellison st Hebburn, just last week July 2025

The old shipyard lads wont recognise this view, because on the right is where Hawthorn Leslies Shipyard once was & across the river was where the well known Swan Hunters's shipyard once was. It might look lovely now, but these place no longer employ thousands of skilled ship building craftsmen.

What a disgrace, served my apprenticeship at Hawthornes and ended up a senior manager with Swans, all those jobs lost, particularly apprenticeship’s, must be very hard for young people to get a job these days !
