Gainford

I moved to Gainford when I was 7 years old. My dad was German and was called Felix.
I attended Gainford School and Claude Cree was the headmaster and taught the top classes.
My best friends were twins and I am sure lots of you will remember them, Kathleen and Maureen Rourke. I dont know where they are today as we moved to Darlington when I was 13 when my Dad remarried.
I still like Gainford very much and have taken my sons there many times, it is a much larger village now than back in 1959 when I first lived there.

A memory of Gainford in County Durham shared on Thursday, 23rd September 2010.
