| Palmer's Offices. I remember the beautiful entrance Foyer. Really posh and gleaming. Out of sight across the road which had a railway line in the centre was the Quay Board school |

 Ann St that went from Church St to Lamport St. My photo from my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website was taken in 2002. It shows the gap where houses once stood . Those houses were hit by a Luftwaffe air raid aiming for the shipyards, |

 Ellison St which is on a hill leading to the river.
The photo is from my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website & shows Mr Chadkirk on Ellison St. As you can see it is on a slope so the houses are on the east side of the street. |

 Bonnacord St which was built for some of Mr Leslie's work force. Andrew Leslie came down to Hebburn in the mid 1800s from Scotland & lots of Scotsmen followed to find jobs in his shipyard. My Granda Robert Dunn walked down from Old Kilpatrick north of Glasgow about 1913 & found work at Leslies as a Blacksmith's Striker. |

 Carr St. My photo of Carr St was taken at the Prince Consort Rd end of the street looking this way towards 'C'Pit.
In the old days Carr St was a busy shopping area with lots & lots of shops. |

 St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. My grandfather Robert Dunn came from Old Kilpatrick in Scotland to live in Hebburn about 1913 & took his family to the church. He also rang the bells on mass days. |

| The Reay Gear Works which in the late 1920s took over these buildings after Newcastle Shipbuilding Co went bankrupt. In later years the factory was taken over by Richardson Westgarth & named RW Transmissions. It finally closed in mid 1970s & the land is now a Housing Estate (Tyne View) |
