X Miner

I was born in Fatfield and moved to Chester-le-Street in 1961 after I was married. My early memories of Chester-le Street was of the choice of the local Picture houses namely the Queens, the Empire, the Palace and the Savoy. We also had the Empire ballroom, and regular hops at the local Miners' Welfare. The cattle market also featured in my early memories along with the Silver Grid and the Carousel night club and casino, the Dunn Cow pub and the Middle Crown. All gone now I'm sorry to say. .
