County Durham memories
I was born in Darlington in 1944, and in 1958 I moved to Newton Aycliffe with my mum, dad and two brothers. We moved into a lovely brand new 3 bedroomed house at 38 Macmillan Rd which was heaven compared to the two up - two down terraced house we lived in at Darlington. My mum ( Amy ) was the... [more]

At the far end of photo number H183005a - on the right - is a white wall. Mr and Mrs Barker lived in a one room plus a tiny kitchen downstairs, two tiny rooms up, from the 1930s until my great-grandmother died in the 1950s at the age of 93 - buried in the local graveyard. I have never been able... [more]

My father and grandmother were born in Shildon and later moved to Darlington, and my father then to Hull. As a child I remember visiting some friends of theirs, Lizzie and Charlie Bowser in Kilburn Street, Shildon. Does anyone have any memories of this couple going back to the 1950s?

I was the vice captain of the Timothy Hackworth Junior School football team when we won the cup and league. I think we won every game of the season. I was in love with Pauline Baker when I was 5 and lived in South St.

This street had changed little until the mid seventies. Today the street is still recogonisible with several of the buildings still looking the same style, but under new ownership.

Extracts From Aycliffe Industrial Park & County Durham books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Aycliffe Industrial Park, inspired by Frith photos.
This typical High Street view could be of any village in the north-east. This is the 1950s version of today's modern superstore, where you can buy everything from ice cream to petrol. Note the sign at the newsagents for Eldorado ice cream, which was very popular at the time and one of the main competitors of Walls. The Northern Echo newspaper is still one of the most... [more]

The main A177 road south from Shincliffe leads to Coxhoe; it may follow the course of an old Roman road. The villages in this area are situated on the Magnesian limestone hills, which are typical of the east Durham countryside between Hartlepool and South Shields. The local limestone has been used in the past as building material, most notably to cement together the bricks of Durham Cathedral.

Although it is near the church, it is still hard to understand why the war memorial was originally placed in a field on the outskirts of the village. This important monument has now been relocated close to the centre of the village, and it is now clearly visible and accessible.
