More about this scene
Jarrow's seven-acre pedestrian shopping precinct opened for business in February 1961; it was all part of a grand scheme to rid the town of its cloth cap image and to drag it into the modern age. The town also embarked upon an ambitious housing programme, replacing older properties with new houses and blocks of flats.
