| This was known as 'Bottom Reyrolles. The Company was basically split by the Newcastle to South Shields railway line so one part was the Newtown Works & the other the Bottom Works |

| The Tharsis Reservoir just left unfenced & deadly being so deep with it's steeply sloping sides. I have heard of three young people drowning in this reservoir. Two children early 1900s & one boy about 7 yrs old in 1950-51. |
