Bomb disposal team blows up firebombs found at Nissan site
Emergency services worked well together after workers at Nissan uncovered a cache of unexploded firebombs at the plant, say fire brigade bosses.

There used to be an army barracks at the back of Hylton Castle in the grounds.
don’t know if it was to do with the 2nd W/War or not.
there was also that building just along from the dog track on the left as you just go into Boldon.It’s still there and used by paintball freaks.
I think everyone in the town should go and see the Acoustic mirror over Fulwell aswell behind the mill garage from the First World War.History on our doorstep

There was one at Hastings Hill. It was there in the early eighties because I know some lads who got inside it.That’s just a Pillbox. A ROC post is fully underground with only man access and ventilation structures above ground.
There’s one which hasn’t been demolished near Easington apparently.
