| The Reay Gear Works. Previously the factory were the Platers Sheds belonging the Newcastle Shipbuilding Co. They had about 8 berths at the riverside, but only lasted a couple of years from 1919 and then went bust. Pics on my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website |

| This was Tyne View Terrace, previously owned by the Tennant's Chemical Works which was on the land next to it. In this period it was rented to a few families.
My relatives the McNeill's lived in one part of it. Next door was a music teacher called Mrs Sewell. Some pics taken there are on my www.oldtyneside.co.uk website with thousands of old images . |

| This was the Bone Yard. The smells that came from the chimneys often blew over to Hebburn across the river. All older people in Hebburn knew of the Bone Yard. |
