A Memory of Durham.

My mum was born in Brandon in 1910, one of 14 children. She sailed to Australia on the Vedic in 1926 and sadly never returned to Brandon. My son and I visited Brandon in 2010 and were disappointed to find that the street where she was born, Sunderland Street and surrounds is gone, replaced by a new housing estate. I guess we should have gone sooner. However, we spent 3 days in Durham visiting the Cathedral, Castle etc. I fell in love with the area and people and could happily live there. As I am now 73 years old I will have to stay at home in Australia and enjoy my wonderful memories and photographs. Thank you to the kind and warm people of Durham.
