SShT 018 MF.jpg  This is South Shields Corporation bus 121, a Daimler COG5, new in 1938. It was one of the first new double-deck buses which they bought. The destination 'Chichester' is not pronounced like the town of that name. The folks in Shields pronounce it 'Chy-Chester', which is where the tram and bus depot was. The building is still used by Stagecoach.   Hand coloured photograph and caption from Malcolm Fraser.

SEAB 010.jpg  Roker Lighthouse on inner pier. The first piers at the harbour mouth were built in the 1790's. Over the years pier extensions and different lighthouses were built and the photo shows  the third lighhouse on the north pier built in 1902.  At the same time the longer modern north and south piers were buiilt enclosing the old harbour mouth completely and the old north pier became known as the inner pier. The heavy wooden structure is on the river side possbly to protect the old foundations.  This old lighthouse remained to mark the river entrance until it was demolished after storm damage in 1958 and replaced with a plain steel navigation light.Information from Len Charlton.
