Old Time's Sake
My name is Ken Chapman. I was born in Esh Winning in 1954 and moved away in 1972. I have not been back very much, but do miss people I knew who I worked and went to school with. I went to school at Cornsay colliery and Waterhouses. I didn't have too bad a childhood, although my brother and sister were quite older than me so I was like an only child. I lived on the Hamsteels estate, had mates like the Rewburys, Cricks, McCorts, and out of Esh there was Jewitts, who lived on a farm up at Old Cornsay. I oftern think of all those school mates and think to myself, do they do the same? So if any of them or anyone knows of them and would like to get in touch for old time's sake you can email me at:- kennethcken@aol.com

RE: RE: Old Time's Sake
i was born in 1959 over the beck but we moved to Western Avenue on the Hamsteels estate when I was very small. I went to Cornsay School between 1964 and 1970. I knocked about with Jimmy Anderson and Gary Ferris and knew Kenneth Chapman. I remember Austin Simpson and Sammy Stivisson and Ronnie the newsagent. I remmber these things like yesterday and wish I had photos of all my mates back then and the teachers at Cornsay School like Mrs Gargutt or Mrs Watson.
