That picture reminds me of a tale my sister remembers from her childhood, the butcher in Tenant street used to give her a hand full of pease pudding straight into her palm.
She has just had her 86th birthday and living in a care home suffering from dementia and alzheimer's but only remembers her childhood.

As I remember, Izzy Johnson shop on the left and Harland grocery on the right. I remember when Harlands started selling boiled sweets from large glass jars. It must have been about 1948.

It's lovely to see you on the Forum Diane. I remember you had the name Stubbs in the family.
Are you related to Ron Riches who often helps me when I'm looking for info on photos?.

Diane

Perhaps we are related Diane.
My family were all STUBBS
Grandmother was Eleanor Stubbs born 1882

Hi Carol,
Diane is a member of Hebburn History Society & a lovely lady I first met 20 years ago, when she loaned me a photo you will have seen on here.
It was Charlie Sculler at the riverside where he ran his Scullerboat service from Tyne View area to Walker. He was Charles Stubbs & Diane's granda or great granda.

I think the Stubbs family ran 'The Albert' Hotel in Hebburn. It was adjacent to the GEM cinema on William St- Albert St corner. Diane might know more.

It was Izzy Johnsons before Mrs Murray took . I suppose it depends on age, I’m 85 and remember both ladies.

Two shops I loved on Tenant Street first was Danns, fresh fish, and fried fish and chips never ever been beaten edie and her brother,and a cousin (I think). Next was Ford's fresh fish, where I was introduced to winkles and been loving them ever since, (sounds a bit corny but true.).🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My job every Friday, to buy the fresh fish from Danns . I had to get cod steaks and Mr Dann( two brothers and a sister I think ran the shop) would bring a really large cod to cut the steaks.

Luv winkles! Sitting with my granny's hat pin for hours digging them out! Can you remember Ford's wet fishshop? Green water in a tank with goldfish side window. Couldn't see them! The guy always didn't smile! He went on to manage the store shop on Station Road!

Bought our first house in Tennant Street, the biggest house in the Street, built for the man who built the estate, a fantastic house, if it had had a bigger garden we would never have moved !
