Yes, fantastic photo, and so clear! I remember the big Shephard's of Gateshead but I'm too young to remember this one in Hebburn.

I like the way you bring out a photo after a conversation. I do that with family photos

Yes George. There was a Ice Cream Parlor on Station Rd close to Shephards ran by a Italian lady called Pasquelina known to us kids as'Paskies'. They were Fusaro' and had another shop in Tennant St run by Joseph.

Love this site because it does bring back so many memories, what would we do without Norman and everyone who contributes. Remember the Ice Cream shop as it was just opposite Newtown School which I attended.

Progress isnt always the best way to go. Walter Wilson with Septimus and Sarah Knox...and you may remember June Hawkins of Mons Ave their best customer. Poor June had severe learning difficulties but she could shop for her mam in Walter Wilsons...

Paskie, couldn't meet a nicer warmer lady, we used to get a cup of hot bovril and a packet of wafers and sit drinking it on the few tables and benches, we always respected that lovely lady, ps Paskie and Joe her brother are buried in Hebburn cemetery with I think Joe's wife.
