' The Tharsis Sulpher & Copper Company which started in Hebburn in the 1860s. In the late 40s early 50s when I was a young lad, they'd pulled out of the town leaving derelict land & buildings & a dangerous deep reservoir. I know of one lad who drowned in the unfenced reservoir. Today that Company would have been heavily fined. '
