Interesting seeing how it all fit together. Being from the north side of the Tyne, South Shields was always a bit 'foreign' to me - wish I'd taken the time to see everything when it was still open. Looking round on Google maps, it's sad how anonymous what's on the site all looks now. Many thanks to your relative for taking the time to get out and video this for us to all see how it once was.
Used to walk from/to our house at 110 Broughton Road across both sets of steps to Westoe Road infant school in Chichester Road East by myself every day. Must be about half a mile or more.
