Scene of a Civil War spat between Mackem roundheads and Geordie cavaliers. When I was a kid the back-to-backs housed miners from one of South Tyneside's two remaining collieries. Now there's a 24-hour Asda, a McDonald's, multiplex cinema, boarded-up bingo hall, scramble bikes, and a concrete British Legion with a letter missing from its sign.
