BUMBLEBEE 2, BEING TOWED FROM THE RIVER WEAR, LOADED WITH WASTE FROM WEARMOUTH COLLIERY.
its empty there paul then fkas were right down 2 the black wen full
was that the one that parted her tow and came a'shore at southshields some were ?
they had tugs that pushed them brian they didnt tow them like in dogsbody;s pic there was about 6 ov them 1 did go ashore at whitburn wen they had to let go in a northerly gale
i dont think they had them that long before they disappeared from the tyne
they were on the go for 8 years mo the c**ts neva stopped 24hrs a day they were dumpin
The bas**rd that skippered the pusher tug used to like salmon nets, he went through enough ov them.........................................
Hi Terry
One of the Tyne Ash Barge was the Bessie Surtees, I think I've got some photographs somewhere and will try and dig them out. Those hoppers carried the waste (cinders etc) from the Tyne Power Stations (Stella and Newburn) to be dumped out on the NE Spoil Grounds. Owned by Stephenson Clarke. Others were the David Marley and Bobby Shaftoe.
