The facility on the banks of the River Wear next to the Queen Alexandra Bridge was opened in 1976 and closed in 1988.

It is really encouraging to hear that Pallion Engineering are looking to bring back the shipyard site back into use for a film use, creating new jobs and breathing life back into the mothballed site."
