An old undated postcard photo showing Ellison Street, Jarrow and the Ben Lomond. Photographer J. Connacher, Grant Street, Jarrow. Photo circa 1958.

That must have been pre shopping centre, and before the present bus station (just a thought).

Spot on Joseph.
The Station Hotel was still there in 1958
The pub and the houses next to it were demolished shortly after the photo and some of the older streets Hibernian Road, Charles St and Caledonian Road were dropped about 3 years earlier as clearance began for the Arndale.

I remember that view Peter.
I dont suppose there is a photo of Hebburn's Theatre Royal anywhere?
I've tried for years to get one. It burned down in Oct 1950 & I went to their matinees but cant remember what it looked like inside or outside as I was just 6 yrs old when it burned.

I seem to remember a little shop on the left hand side downstairs looking at the screen.

I don’t know how it has happened but my remarks were attached to The Theatre, Hebburn not Ellison Street ?

I only remember those as residential. No shops spring to mind Mac.
