Fond Memories From The Antipodes

I have lived in Australia for 42 years but Coxhoe always remains home to me. The 7 Frith photos which are published at this site are the real Coxhoe to me because I was living there in that era and that is how it remains locked in my memory. These pictures take me back to the 28 happy years that I lived in loved in and left for a new life all those years ago.
I have been back on 3 occasions hoping to find some contact with my past life (old friends or their families) but to no avail. Perhaps better luck next time. Would be peased to hear from anyone in the area.

Hi Ron, Just read about your memories of Coxhoe, I remembered your name from way back in time. In the 1940s I lived at 49 Sanderson Terrace. Our neighbours were Stan and Phillis Wood. My parents were Tom and Florrie. I recentley spoke to Ronnie Taylor (Ryders shop) Best Wishes Allan (SPUD)

Hi Ron, Further to my comments on the 27 Nov, I have spoken to Colin Heads some time ago, he did tell me he was 85 and still driving the school bus. If you need any more information I would only be pleased to help.I now live in Ferryhill but still have a lot of connections in Coxhoe. Just for a laugh, Ami Parkin (teacher)lived till she was 95 lovely person. I will connect with you again, Merry Xmas, Ron. Allan.
