EPW051071 ENGLAND (1936). The Palmers Hebburn Co Shipbuilding Yard, Hebburn, 1936

This was Hawthorn Leslies Clock Tower

This derelict land is where the Tennant's Chemical Works once was. It started in Hebburn about 1865 and eventually became the United Alkali Co.

This was a fish'n'chip shop on Church St/Ann St corner. About 5 yrs after this photo was taken the profile of the rooftops on Ann St was changed forever as a German bomb demolished a couple of the houses. The gap where they once were is still there today as they were never rebuilt. Pics of it on my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website

Commercial Pub on Lyon St/Ellison St corner

These houses were on Ellison St

These houses were called 'Tyne View Terrace' & previously belonged to the Tennant's Chemical Works where their managers lived. In the 40s & 50s after Tennant's were no longer in Hebburn my McNeill relatives lived in one of the houses. They had a tennis court, indoor bathroom, & even a telephone which was a left over from when Tennant's people lived there. The photo shows my aunt Jane McNeill in the garden at Tyne View.
