About the memorial: Brass Plaque. Originally in the Erecting Shed in Ellison Street. It was then recorded in several different locations in the yard up until 1973. Subsequently the shipyard was closed and the plaque went missing. It then appeared in the Bede Gallery, Jarrow (which closed in 1996) and was put up for sale at Boldon Auction Galleries by the former Bede Gallery owner in 2015, from whence it was purchased by South Shields Museum. Their reference is TWCMS: 2016.203. The Zeppelin was LZ40 (L10). The ages of the 11 killed at the Yard varied from 16 to 67. The final Victim, Ann Isabella Loughlin, who lived near the yard, died of shock according to the inquest. One man who died at the yard, but is not on the Plaque, was Joseph Lane, aged 67- he is commemorated on the St John's Methodist Church Plaque-WMO/282853. Karl Kalnin (on the plaque) was named as Karl Karling at the inquest. After the raid here bombs were dropped at Willington Quay on the north bank of the Tyne and Police Constable Robert Telford was killed-he is buried at Chollerton Churchyard. He is also commemorated on the Chollerton War Memorial and at other locations
