Looking out over Craig's Corner and Station Road Bridge. Some long-gone buildings visible in this one!

What a marvellous photo of Hebburn ,all that area was my playground area back in the sixties when my family lived in Aln street . Noticed Newtown school had been demolished and replaced with fountains park . Also there was still a lot of industry around in those days , Can you notice the big GKN steel stockist warehouse beside the wooden bridge over the quay …….. Question when was the GKN warehouse and Newtown school demolished

Don't know about GKN but Newtown school was demolished in 1984.
