Shields Gazette 8th December 2014

Sports were organised for the children and marquees erected for tea and refreshments. St. Hilda Colliery Band rendered selections of music in the evening, and a spectacular fireworks display was put on by Pains, already specialists in these matters.

He gave out gold and enamel Medallions which were engraved on the back. The photograph shows one recently discovered by Malcolm Spence from Jarrow, which was passed down to him from his great aunt, Margaret Bowman (nee Spence). It has been engraved "by the officials and workmen as a token of gratitude. Great War 1914-1919."
