Jarrow - In Black and White
Jarrow appears in history when Hebburn did not. Stan Laurel, proud of his Tyneside origins, wrote it as Hepburn. Gywr might have been a tribe from the Fens. In industrial times the running club was Jarrow, Hebburn and Felling. Between 1963 and 1973: This is what I remember: Jarrow had two cinemas, one was the Regal. The Colman's-like Tea Room. The stairs over Jarrow station. Soot black yet to be cleaned stonework in Newcastle. The Station Hotel. Turning under the railway viaduct in to Albert Road on the No 16 bus. The cold winter of 1963. The Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel wooden stairs. Fat Man Squeeze. The Huts. Franco Soave chip shop. The Neon. The Ex-Serviceman’s Club. Trams in South Shields. Stan Mallam. Jarrow steelworks. The Greyhound. The Ben Lomond. Club Franchi. Meanwhile Bill Brandt visited Jarrow and Kylie Minogue spent her gap year working Arndale Arcade flower shop. Valhalla.
