hi all anyone no where this address was THE GOLDEN LION YARD

[Pilot]

The Golden Lion was a very old pub in King Street South Shields, I believe it was a coaching station before the railways were built, the London coach starting from there. I have some old gazette cuttings but the quality is not good.

Maybe they became rich....Newmans.... was a well known factory in Shields up until the 1980s when it closed



Further digging suggests Henry Freedman a Londoner from the Jewish east end opened the factory in the 1930s
