Milling Street

A Memory of Gateshead.

I lived on Milling St until I was a year old in 1953. My grandma and grandad Jimmy and Ethel McCombie lived over the Co-op shop. We used to go back there every year for our summer holidays until the mid 60's. God knows how the 11 of us crammed in there with them but they were the happiest times of my life bar none. I'm sure that there were some unfriendly people there like everywhere, but I have to say if there were I never encountered any.
