I'm sure sure most people on South Tyneside have been in the South Marine Park and seen this lovely little Lake which is still there today.

I well remember the motor boat trips - 'once round the lake'

There was a terrific explosion when the Parachute Mine exploded sending water & mud high up into the air. Here is the well known Shields photographer Amy Flagg's photo from April 1941.
