Cyclists are freewheeling down the steep bank of Borough Road below the footbridge Image heading for the Fish Quay or the Shields passenger ferry. St Peter's Steps on the far side of the road provide access to Yeoman Street alongside remains of the former church and school. St Peter's Church (the Sailors' Church) was built to serve the Low Town on the corner of Borough Road and Clive Street in 1862 with funds provided by the Duke of Northumberland. The church was demolished in 1936. http://www.tomorrows-history.com/public_item.php?collection=91&item=15083
