A good transcription of an oral history on here, describes the area

EDIT: I guess it could have been cleared for the A167M but also may have been part of the general "regeneration" in the 50s & 60s

Did you Google it?

First thing that came up was this, saying it was demolished

There was a lot of redevelopment in Shieldfield, not for motorways though.

Could that it means it no longer exists or is a motorway way or something, if any Geordies can help I will be very grateful. Thank you.
