Tynemouth - Walker[s] Place

[kooky]

Does anyone know where I might find a picture of the original Walker Place?
My gt gt gr father was born there in 1820.
I went to see it last year, but was told, in the pub, that it had been demolished some 8 or 9 years ago.

Hi Kooky,

You could try North Shields library, they have lots of old photographs of the area:
