Notes
1. Shields Gazette 10/02/1956; The Hebburn Parks and Cemeteries Committee is to consider designs for a new War Memorial. The committee was told last night that the column of the memorial in Carr Ellison Park has been completely destroyed in a recent storm, though no damage was done to the base. The surveyor, Mr R.C. Bestow, said the memorial had been ugly and top heavy. Something of this sort was inevitable he said.
The committee instructed Mr Bestow to submit designs and costs for a new memorial at the next meeting.
