| Further Information | The accompanying article reads: A year ago, the Port of Tyne Authority began reclaiming 21 acres of the southern end of Tyne Dock to provide new development sites for the port and this is the progress made so far. More than 100,000 cubic yards of spoil have been tipped into the dock, but over 1 million cubic yards are still required. South Shields Corporation is cooperating in the project by providing spoil excavated from its new incinerator site at Middlefields, Tyne Dock. |
