| 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 Leach Builders to form the Ettrick Road Estate. |

| This building in Monkton was called 'Monkton Home' and was a 'hospital' where men with learning difficulties lived. The home didn't house young boys with learning difficulties, just men. |

 This Sports Ground was shared by Jarrow Metal Works, the Tube Works & Palmers . It was called the METUPA which incorporated the first two letters of each company. It was situated in Monkton & is still there today in 2013 with modern facilities. This photo from my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website that I've attached was taken at the METUPA & you can see the Slag Heap in the background |

| The Slag Heap. This was created by Jarrow Palmer's molten slag from the Blast Furnaces being dumped for years & years. It was removed by using explosives & a Crusher which turned the slag into different grades of gravel for road making. So it was waste material that was eventually sold to help build roads & foundations. |
