April 06, 2010 Jarrow Metro Station

This tribute to the Jarrow Marchers of 1936 can be found on the Westbound platform of Jarrow Metro Station.
The plaque again depicts the march to London and once again the dog features.
The Actual dog that took part in the original March was called Paddy apparently but I haven't been able to verify this on thee web anywhere (please let me know if anyone finds a reference)
This plaque was created by local Jarrow artist Vince Rea and was unveiled by Neil Kinnock in 1984.
