Hi Larry Just noticing that shovel loading coal was J & GT Gordons from Stakeford, we did a fair bit of work for them at various sites around Washington New Town. Any idea what happened to them ? IIRC one of the foremen was called Harry Lambert who could be a bit awkward at times but was ok once you got to know him.

Junction of Blackett st and Grainger st, Newcastle

Your uploads bring back the memories but I think it looks more like the corner of Market Street and Grainger Street with the Monument and Blackett Street about 100 yards to the left off picture.
