A view into Hebburn 1937 thanks to 'Britain from Above.' site

Thanks to the 'Britain from Above' site for allowing us to use their aerial images. This gives younger people who never saw Hebburn Lakes how large they were. It is such a shame that the 'second lake' which was the Ellison families boating lake wasnt kept as a boating lake for us to rival Saltwell Park.

I never get tired of seeing this photo! There is so much of the part of Hebburn that I grew up in that hasn't been built yet, including my house!

Oh to be able to travel back in time and see it all first-hand!

Have to agree with that, AJG

Just below the "Y" in cemetery is were i was born...not in the allotments, obviously, but after they were cleared, and Queens Crescent, Toner, and Johnstone Avenue were built..
