The Nissen hut located inside this blast wall is likely some kind of Ordnance store /magazine associated with the Z Rocket Projectile Battery.

The end of a Sunderland tram route, with turning loop (that goes on the wrong side of the road in the junction - what chaos it would cause today) a couple sidings and a tram waiting to head south back to Sunderland.

This is actually the lighthouse not Whitburn Colliery, as I think this pin needs to be switched with the one nearby - which is the Colliery and not the lighthouse!

Whitburn Colliery also had the District NCB Workshops attached to it, My friend Barry Owens dad used to work there.
