"County Durham & Darlington Fire & Rescue Service - An Illustrated History" - Durham CFB in 1948 http://www.dunston.fotopic.net/p55728177.html http://www.gateshead-history.com/dunston.html http://www.webwanderers.org/2005/12/dunston_old_asylum.html - demolished approx 1970 http://webwanderers.org/comments-2013/ - Dunston fire station was a corrugated building which was pulled down by Catterick Bros and rebuilt to a petrol station by several of their friends. The fire station moved to Swalwell which has now been pulled down and has now been rebuilt with another new one. I think Dunston fire station was pulled down approx. 1969/1970 http://www.bpears.org.uk/Misc/War_NE/w_section_01.html -
