Aerial view of the shipyard of John Readhead & Sons and beyond

    Westoe Colliery in the distance close to the coast. The massive head gear can be seen above the shaft and coal conveyors to the left. A mine which should never have closed..

    A large area already been levelled. Would that have been housing???
  • optimal chicken said:
    Don Tate A fair bit yes. I'd say about a third of that open space still survives - possibly less.
  • Don Tate said:
    Thanks
  • Paul Jarvie said:
    Really cool pic and history.

Hebburn from the air, 1973

    It's a good view across the river to Wallsend and beyond too. It strikes me that there's so much open space between settlements and industrial sites.

    It staggers me that they achieved the correct angles and shapes to create a balanced and equal shaped ship like this. They were designed using slide rules and paper yet made them to a very high standard - real skills.
