I was very interested in your memories of Hebburn. I used to live in Quarry road just by Hebburn park. My parents lived there until both past away. My mums parents lived in Barnard Crescent. My grandfather was a coal miner. and he drank in the Clock. He was known as "Stotty Ward" so he may have known your grandfather. I went to Glegwell school in the 50s and early 60s. I now live on the Costa del Sol in Spain. I was looking for pics or info on what shops were on Station Rd. in the 50s & 60s If you can remember anything about them or have info on them I would be very interested to hear from you

Hi, there is a Facebook page called Pictorial Hebburn, which you would find interesting. Very friendly locals who will help with any memories or questions relating to Hebburn and the surrounding areas. There are some fantastic photos on there, old and new, including ones of Station Road shops.
