Cleadon is a village in South Tyneside, just north of Whitburn where a friend of ours lives.
We had never actually stopped in Cleadon – apart from to buy petrol once – until Oct 2024.
While stopping to photograph Cleadon’s War Memorial I spotted this minor Art Deco building:-
Cleadon War Memorial is a stone pillar on a pedestal. Details of the memorial are on this website.

“They that put aside today
All the joys of their today
And with toil of their today
Bought for us tomorrow.” – Rudyard Kipling
