An old photo from 1956 showing Ormonde Street, Jarrow. Who remembers Outspan oranges?

Peter, I do remember Outspan. Did they not do grapefruit too? Also is it the same Pickering who had the shop at the corner of Station Rd and Glen St?

I believe Outspan oranges were imported from South Africa.

The street was named after Drewett Ormonde Drewett, a former resident of Jarrow Hall. (See Michael Arbon’s post of 27/12/2025)
