Brian Wilkie, one of the websites regulars,
suggested this page of photos of the Mill Lane area - where he walks his "Yorkshire
Terrorist" dog. (At least, that's what I think he was suggesting -
but who knows?)

Front entrance of the CockCrow Inn on the
west side of Mill Lane just past Monkton Lane |

Rear view of the same building from the
ornamental lake built on the old clay pits |

A higher view, again looking east from behind
the building |

Mill Tavern, looking much posher now with the
conservatory extension to the front. |

Ornamental Lake behind the CockCrow Inn, nice
idea but suffers from the usual problems of vandalism etc. |

View from higher ground looking towards
Reyrolle testing plant on Victoria Road West (St. James School &
Church in foreground) |

Another view from the same spot, this time
looking east towards South Shields. In distance (starred) there's a rig
platform under repair at Tyne Dock |

This time looking south towards Penshaw
Monument (sorry the photo is a bit shakey) |

Looking west towards Newcastle, with the
regions 2nd best ground (Sid James Park) clearly visible on the skyline |
