Four Lane Ends, Hetton in the 1920s. This seems to show the Easington to Wardley road (later A182), looking north-westward in the direction of Hetton from the bottom of Pemberton's Bank, a fearsome hill which remained cobbled until at least the 1960s. The tram track laid into the road led from Easington Lane clock and War Memorial to Sunderland via (I think) Philadelpha and Herrington Burn. The business premises on the right was a hairdresser's in the 1960s.

Station Road, Hetton. c 1905? This is taken from near the top of Station Road, where it crosses the old Durham & Sunderland Railway, which terminated at Elvet Station. The camera is pointing south-eastward on what is now the A182.

Front Street Hetton in the 1930s. This is looking north-north-westward at a point near the church or chapel, which is out of sight to the right. There is or was a Wesleyan Chapel behind the photographer. Partially hidden by the more distant of the two single-deck buses is what later became Hetton Library but at the time of the photograph it would have been a school.
