Happy Days in Forest Hall.
I was born and lived in Forest Hall, 1952-1968. I have very happy memories of living in Forest Hall,as a child. I was born and lived in my grandparents' house, in Firtree Avenue, until I was 2 years old, then I lived in Granville Drive, until I moved down south with my parents in 1968. I went to Delaval Road Primary School, and my friends and I used to buy our sweets on the way to school at Stowbies, I remember having 2 shillings and sixpence pocket money a week then, that would pay for my sweets on the way to school, most days and for the Ritz - Saturday morning pictures. My other memories of Forest Hall are - the railway line that ran from Westmoor to Rocket Way, and the old signal box with the signalman sitting in there, that was next to Richardsons Garage. I remember Browns newsagents further along. Then there was Springfield Park, I used to spend many an hour or two in there with... Read more
Forest Hall
My name is Brian and I lived at 26 Granville Drive. In those days the road ended at about No 40 and then there were fields all the way to Backworth. Joyce Dick was a particular friend. We all went to St Bart's Church and what a great vicar we had - George Foster. The Ritz was a must on Saturday.
Fun Times
My maiden name was Glendinning, Anne, and we moved from Benton to Lilac Avenue in 1968 when I was 7 years old. We lived there while the house upgrades took place and quite a few of the families were shipped out to live in Killingworth but we stayed as my brother was disabled so we couldn't move into the towers where most people were sent. We lived over the road from the Sales family, Scullions, next door to the Hutchinsons, Murphy's, etc etc. If anyone remembers please answer my blog...would love to have a chat about the old days. Anne Stewart (nee Glendinning).
North Croft
Does anyone remember Ted and Edith Potts who lived at No. 4 North Croft? They loved ballroom dancing and used to go to the Embassy opposite St. Bartholomew's church where I was married. They were my parents. They lived next door to Polly Burdus, a retired local school teacher who laid claim to teaching the Blue Peter presenter, Peter Purves! On the other side of us was Mr. and Mrs. Martin and Colin. In Forest Avenue was our great friend Tommy Burns, a lovely man and also a dancer. Kath, his wife, sadly died fairly young but they were both good friends. Somewhere near to them lived Gordon Aitchison, who I think was a lodger but was a member of the local tennis club. I also remember someone called Joyce and her sister but cannot remember her surname. Then there was my piano teacher, a large lady, name forgotton. Misses Armstrong, shop and Musgroves. Those were the days! Then I left to join the WRNS... Read more
Quarry-Cottages-Wideopen-Weetslade
My great-great-grandparents came over from Ireland in the potato famine in 1840, and they lived at Quarry Cottages in Wideopen-Weetslade. My great-great-grandfather was a stone-quarryman in Wideopen.
