Childhood
I lived near Durham from 1955 to 1972 when I went off to university. My mother lived in Belmont nearby until her death in 1994.
I remember well the funny little traffic control booth and Doggarts in the background. We always shopped in Doggarts and I was always fascinated by the way the money shot round the store in 'capsules' around the ceilings when you made a purchase. I went to the Grammar School up the road and in the early days queued for my bus to Belmont in the Market place.
Unfortunately I now have no reason to visit Durham - its a great place - jam packed full of history - which I dont think I appreciated as a young person.
