NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

Seat made from H.M.S. Lion
An old photograph shows a seat near "The Response" which was made from the H.M.S. "Lion" after it was broken up at the Hughes Bolckow shipyard at Blyth.

This is described in Battleship Wharf by Horace White printed 1961 which is a short history of the Hughes and Bolckow ship breaking company at Blyth. The photo is on page 39.
