April 03, 2010 Jarrow Town Hall

Jarrow Town Hall was opened in 1902 and is famous as the starting point from which the Jarrow Marchers set off for London on 5th October 1936.
The distinctive clock is dated 1951 and below it there is a plaque to the Jarrow Crusade. Behind the Town Hall you can see Wilkinson Court flats behind which you cannot see the sister Ellen Court - both being named after the MP for the Town during the Jarrow Crusade in 19366 - Ellen Wilkinson.
