More about this scene

The street was developed during the 1830s as the town grew in response to the construction of the harbour for the export of coal. On Queen Street are the scant remains of the medieval manor house that once belonged to Tynemouth Priory: a fragment of wall and a 15th-century window.

May Lundgren was my grandmother, married to Alfred Edward (old Ed), who was in the Air Force during the war. My father is also Alfred Edward (young Eddie), born 1931 who now lives in Alnwick with my mother Irene, formerly Walker, from East Chevington.

I would just like to ask if anyone remembers Mrs Lungren of 10 Leazes Street, Amble? She lived there around the 1940s.
