Hebburn Park which stretched from St John's Ave to as far as the east end of the First Lake & old Quarry. The Park was one the private garden of the Carr Ellison family as were the four lakes. The second lake had a Boathouse where the Carr Ellison's kept their boats. They sailed & fished on the lakes. The Lakes were only constructed in the mid to late 1800s & were drained at the end of the 1950s maybe early 1960s.Here is a photo from my website showing the Park gardeners. '
