I was born in Dilston Nursing Home in May 1942. My uncle lived at Dilston House which is now luxury self-catering accommodation. We returned many times during the 1940s and 1950s and I remember wading at the edge of the Devils Water.

RE: RE: An Exciting Place to be Born

Hi Chris, I was also born in that hospital in May 1943. We lived in Millfield, Newburn and this was the maternity hospital we had to use. I remember later on in life my parents told me my dad used to often walk home as he had missed the last bus, it's only about 20 miles! Could you immagine that happening today? One consolation was that it was summer time. I have alot of memories about the areas around Newburn if you care to take a look. Thanks. Jimmy Burrows
