Memories of Cleveland
Fir Tree Inn
I remember the Fir Tree Inn in its hey day. My Aunty Peggy was the landlady; she was a wonderful person; she always wore spectacular dresses when behind the bar.
The Inn was at the top of the village just where Wellfield Road began.
Sadly Aunt Peggy and Uncle Dick are with us no more but memory is a marvellous thing, a part of me will always remember the atmosphere behind the bar even though I was(technically) too young to work there.

Greys Drapers
Grandfather William Grey owned a number of shops in Wingate, Co. Durham one was at 47 North Road West, Wingate, it was a drapers shop. Grandfather died in 1962, his last remaining shop was closed by my mother Winnie England and made into a house. My family were once very prominant in Wingate, they consisted of the Greys, the Races and the Tarrens. In the 1800s Robert Tarren owned the Plough Inn in Hutton Henry. I would be very interested in any information about current family members.
Percy And Joan's Fish And Chip Shop
I'm wondering if anyone remembers this couple? Joan is my dad's cousin but I can't remember her married name. I'm trying to trace back the KEW side of my family and Joan's mam was Molly (nee Kew). If Joan is still around I would like to ask her some stuff. Anyone....help! Thanks, Doug Kew.
Looking For Family
I am trying to trace GLORIA ADAMS Married name unknown;
she is related to Harriet and "Father John" Adams
who used to live next to my Nanna in Kings Road.
Harriet & John were cousins to my Nanna Margaret (Adams) Robson;
This request is purely to ask a couple of family history questions.

Personal Recollections
From age 11 to 16 I lived in Station Town from 1950 to 1955, at 2 Rodridge Street,( now thankfully the street has been demolished). When I saw the old photograph of the Main Street it was mostly as I remembered it. Booth's the Paper Shop was where I had my first Sunday paper job, deliveriing to the Main street, Sinker's Row and eventually finishing with the Pit Manager's House. All for 2/6. The shop almost opposite Booth's was to feature stongly in our adolescence, it was the Ice Cream Shop, owned and run by Luigi Pirelli. Another prominent place of our attention was further up the Street, The Billiard Room, run by Jack and owned by Domenico's. I remember an occasion when my Mother, exasperated no doubt by my inattention to schoolwork knocked at the door and demanded I come home. With the money being won these days, she would probably be telling me to practice more. I later found work at the Palace Cinema as a young Projectionist... Read more
