A mid 50's photo of the corner of Ellison Street and Grange Road with the soon to be demolished Station Hotel on the corner.

Was not the area that they had a simulated bomb attack type thing.

A lot of the Special Constables from Hebburn and Jarrow were involved. Two of my family were in that both Dad and and Uncle.

Yes it was Allan part of the several streets opposite the Town Hall scheduled for clearance but it was a total shambles.
The fire created spiraled out of control and the Fire Auxiliaries with their Green Goddesses couldn't cope with it.
They had to send for the professionals.
Probably not one of Jarrow's finest moments!

I now remember the mess that happened. Well sort of, a long time ago.

There would be no risk assessment back then, well not up to today’s standard.
