Seaside Lane
I love this picture. It was taken at the 'top of the street'; Nannie and Grandad (Emma and Joe Lawson) lived on Byron Street from the 1950s to the 1970s. My favourite shops were Robinsons (the source of many birthday cards and Bunty and Judy comics), the Co-op (I can still remember the account number) and Burdesses (who can forget their meat pies). I spent many a summer in Easington and loved every minute I spent there. I have since moved to Canada but on my trips back to the UK I always visit Easington.

RE: RE: Seaside Lane
Easington was a very happy community at that time! But things have changed, houses have been demolished, shops have closed families have moved out... it's so, so sad as Easington was a thriving community that I'm proud to have came from, and in which I still live, but the community spirit has vanished along with its heart...! And you are so right, Burdess's meat pies were the best, we used to rush from school and call in to Equies for a milk shake then Burdesses for a meat pie. Happy Days.
