Industrial Tyneside

I discovered this wall map (taken as 2 photos) in South Shields museum.   Since it's by Port of Tyne, it's post 1968, but not by much judging by the level of industry shown.   (In 1968 Port of Tyne took over from the Tyne Improvement Commission, which had significantly altered, developed, commercialised & industrialised the river after it took over from the Newcastle Corporation hostmen in 1850.)
