Thatcher and her Conservative government destroyed the heavy industry that mostly the north was dependent on. Steel, coal, ship building - everything. The problem was that her government implemented this without first having any proper plan of what the communities would do once the work was gone. The best they could come up with was 'get on your bike' and look for work. The fact that the college went too is tragic. If ever there was more need for a college and more retraining.

It's now January 2022 and there are even more houses in Hebburn. Don't forget, Baker Perkins was flattened for houses.
