Hebburn Lakes. ‘The Lakes’, were four man-made ponds established through the damming of Bede’s Burn in about the 1890s. Located on the southeast side of the conservation area boundary, they were apparently formed by the flooding of sandstone quarries and their primary role was to provide fresh water to nearby industries. Some of the stones from the quarries were used to form the east side of the 'first' lake (the eastern-most pond). http://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=1975&

This area of Land to the East of the Bowes Rail Line is a former Quarry? In this photo this area of land has returned back to field. But on Ordinance Survey Maps from 1916-1938 this land is shown as a Quarry! Before 1916, and after 1938 it is just field. The land was built upon in the 1960's by William Leech Builders to form the Ettrick Road Estate.
