Now that I have never seen before. That feels like real history to me. Strange remark I know but I don't know how else to describe it.

The Jarrow and Hebburn golf course was tucked in between Victoria Road, Hebburn Lakes on the west, the Slag Heap on the south-east and Bede Burn on the south. It was a nine-hole course, opened c.a. 1906. The first Captain was Douglas Upton, Manager of the Iron and Steel Works, who lived in Belsfield. The course closed during WW2, and did not reopen thereafter. The Jarrow and Hebburn Golf Club was formally dissolved in 1949 and the club house was sold to Heworth Golf Club for £400. The members at Heworth still compete annually for the "Jarrow and Hebburn Cup," which bears the following inscription: Jarrow and Hebburn Golf Club - Presented by the above club on its dissolution 1949 - To Heworth Golf Club for annual competition.

I'm sure that ground was used by the fare two or three times a year, we had a nick name for the field something like the golfa. (ANOTHER BIT OF RED HOT INFO.)

The fair for Joseph

Yes there was regular fair in the location.
I have never hear anyone refer to the area which it occupied as having a specific name. Most of us called it "just next to Halls"

I remember my dad called it 'The Gulf Links' (not golf but gulf

)
I dug up a golf ball in our Grasmere Rd back garden Joseph so the Links stretched quite a distance.

It was Culine from Spennymoor who had the fair. The field was next to Hall Bros coaches and I remember the night it caught fire. I also recall the pylons that ran up the side of Leslie's field all made by Reyrolle.
