This expanse of derelict looking land was where the Tennant's Chemical Works was (later the Alkali Chemical Co) & by 1935 they'd moved out leaving such a mess. Hebburn Urban District Council started using the land nearer the camera as a municipal rubbish tip which grew to be massive. It is all now buried under the grass & trees of the landscaped riverside.
