Teenage Years

I was born in 1938 and went to school at the top of the bank where I was very happy, because it was directly opposite my home address of 5 Eighth Street and I was never late. Unfortanately a few of my classmates died. I moved to Newcastle-on-Tyne when my parents died in 1991 and 1993 and have lived here ever since, but I have never forgotten my bithplace.

RE: RE: Teenage Years

Hi Alan, do you remember me from over the road when we played gatesy and cricket in the back street? I still see Billy and Keith in Blackhall. Hope all is well with you, it's not the same here now, all seem to be strangers, not like when we were kids.
