Don't think the one in Sunderland is in use any more? Gates were certainly shut with nothing parked inside last time I was there (a month or two ago) RE: Jim Hughes of Sunderland/Birtley - Malarkey - 27 Feb 2015 (27 Feb 2015, 1:16 pm)Dan wrote Would be Birtley, I'd imagine.

They're at the top of Fell Bank near the Ford dealership. Portobello Road (the one that runs parallel to the motorway), runs along the top of Fell Bank and whatever road (Shadon?) that Kingsleys are in.

Cheers Andreos1, that will be a few minute walk then from where Kingsleys are.
