The Reay Gear Works which was originally the Platers Sheds for the Newcastle Shipbuilding Co who went bankrupt. In later years it was taken over and became Geo Angus Gear Works. Eventually it became RW Transmissions. It finally closed in the 1970s and a new housing estate stands on the land now called Tyne View Est. Photos of RW Transmissions are on my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website.

This was called 'The Island Lake' but I can't see the Island on this 1937 view so maybe it was created afterwards. In my day late 40s into the 50s the Island was overgrown with bushes/shrubs/trees and swans and ducks nested there.

This was called 'The second Lake'. It once had a Boathouse that the Ellison family had built. They were the lords of the manor and lived in Hebburn Hall (Ellison Hall). In the 40s and 50s the boathouse had gone and all that remained were timbers sticking out of the lake bed. Photo of it on my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website

This was locally known as 'Sandy Bottom' lake and where the children fell through the ice in the late 50s. This was the reason the lakes were drained.

Hebburn's 4 lakes separated from each other by earth embankments. They were drained in the late 50s after a few children drowned when they fell through the ice

This was an old Quarry, south of Leslies sports field. Part of it was water filled, deep and dangerous because the water couldn't be seen. It had a coating of cork type dust on the surface which looked solid. We knew this as kids cos when you threw a stone the surface broke & you saw the water & then it was quickly hidden again.People did drown in it apparently
