Photos of old Jarrow

I was wondering if you know of any photos of William black street in east Jarrow, it is now the Bede trading estate.
Many thanks. Keep up the good work. Linda

I dont have photos of William Black St where Catherine Cookson once lived. Here below is a drawing of what the street looked like with Swinburne St at the junction. William Black street was the last of the row of 4 streets coming from Jarrow ie Lancaster St, Simonside Tce, Phillipson St & then William Black St the last street before you got to Tyne Dock. (They are the 4 streets in her book)

Thank you, my dad lived there when he was younger. He used to take me visit my grannie every Sunday. I remember the corner shop across from her flat. Always went in back way. Ha Ha.
