The Hebburn Ferry coming into the Landing Stage in 1955. This photo is a reminder that we once had Ship Yards on both sides of the River creating thousands of skilled jobs and its all gone now.
We are an Island so who will make ships for us in the future?

Probably the rest of the World Norman and cheaper, as well as the EU. The EU paid us to close some of our shipyards.
