There was an article on Jackson’s in CVC about a year ago.
hi lads, lonewolf, the dog leg at haggerston, was straightened out mid 60ty-70ty, the junction you are on about was a right bend, traffic coming from the left had to give way, that road took you back to lowick, as you went north the road dipped and there used to be an old mill building that is now house’s, then there was the chimney stack about 800 yards farther up that has just be converted into a house,here is a photo where that dog leg started at haggerston cottages,bumper
Yeah, the next place north would be the Black cat pub. 
I delivered the text yesterday. At last. Its taken me 6 years. Now I have to start on the photography.
What’s the latest on your Great North Road book as we’ve heard nothing for a month, any idea when it will be published?
At the moment the publishers are working on a couple of other books so its in the queue. How long that will take I do not know.

A bit late now i suppose but having read all posts on A1 ive only seen greasy Normans mentioned once ! It was a wonderful establishment loved and hated equally. Only ever ate there never overnighted , too close to home , but i think drivers used to go to a boozer just over the bridge in Brotherton heard many a tale of good nights in there. Jim.
