Sunday header for Elizabeth Tindle

Elizabeth Tindle nee Baker could not see where she was brought up in yesterdays Header photo so I thought I'd put another header on today that shows exactly where she was born & brought up. This photo is from 1937, so she wasnt born yet.

'B' was renamed 'The Banks of the Tyne' in later years

Amazing how quiet/desolate it all looks in 1937, pre-war...
Only a few ships tied up.. HOW that changed withinn a couple of years!

Just seen it!! Thankyou Norman. Does that make me famous? I walked past Simpson's Hostel on my way to school. In retrospect, that was quite dangerous as there were always men hanging around the entrance.

I'm pleased you scrolled down & spotted the aerial view of where you were brought up Elizabeth.
