4 pages from a 1930 booklet on Jarrow & Hebburn

A little bit of history from a 1930 booklet I saved years ago in my archive. Jarrow has changed a lot since 1930

Thankyou for this. The story I know is that Bede was born in Monkton village and was sent to the Jarrow monastery when he was 7 for his education.

Its lovely to see you on the Board Elizabeth, all the way from sunny Australia to a miserable wet for days Hebburn, with snow in the Forecast.
