The sign on the left shows the boundary between Throckley (Tyne & Wear) and Heddon on the Wall (Northumberland). The building on the right was the Frenchman's Arms Public House http://sine.ncl.ac.uk/view_image.asp?digital_doc_id=1616 built on the site of an even older Inn and now converted to flats. The terrace beyond, and slightly behind, is still known as Frenchman's Row Image There is an article about Frenchman's Row here http://heddonhistory.weebly.com/frenchmans-row.html https://web.archive.org/web/20200226120359/http://heddonhistory.weebly.com/frenchmans-row.html
