THE SATURDAY MORNING MATINEE
THE SATURDAY MORNING MATINEE
Of course you remember it ... well most of us do!!!
It all seems so long ago now! but it's beginning to drift up from the fog of 'times gone by'. Hot and damp and steaming gently in the heat of the old Globe cinema at Gosforth (you sold more drinks and ice cream if you kept it very hot!) from the rain sitting there with our knees under chins and feet on the seat with sweaters pulled up to our eyes and pulled down over our knees so we looked like rows of strange beasts, so God help the ice cream girls! There must be about 1000 screaming children rooting for Roy Rogers and Trigger and hell bent on making as much noise as possible! But they never noticed that Roy's hat never fell off in a fight and that he had more lipstick on than Dale Evans his love interest. They would never imagine that poor old Trigger would end up being stuffed... Read more

The Park at Windy Nook
Circa 1956 I lived in Carr Hill and my dad would take me to Windy Nook Park. A lady in one of the houses around the area gave me sweets. Later on he found out that the woman had poisoned a few of her husbands to get the insurance money. She was supposed to be in the newspaper etc and was called the widow of Windy Nook! How true that is I don't know. Has anyone else heard the story?
John Southern
Hi, I'm trying to find some information about my granda's mam. My granda is John Southern and he was born 14th November - I think it was in 1926. He had 2 older brothers. His mother Jane Southern died when he was about 10 years old from cancer - his father then remarried. He lived in Windy Nook all of his young life. Please get in touch if you or anybody you know could help me.

I was placed here at the age of 16 years of age in 1982 until my 17th bithday when I gave birth to my daughter on that very day. I would appreciate any information, on the history and when it finally closed. Thank you for reading this.
Hewson Street
I grew up in Hewson street, my parents were Peggy and Ernie Gills and we lived in our grandparents house (Meggie and Bill (Scotty) Jackson). I loved a Sunday when all the family would call to see us - the tiny flat would burst at the seams. We were sent to the shop on the corner of the street called Robbies, for broken bicuits and loose butter. We would play in the lane for hours, or go to the park,and then home for a wash in the tin bath. Mondays was wash day and mam and gran would be washing clothes in a poss tub. It had a mangle to squeeze the water out of the clothes. The best fun was when the coal was delivered. They used to dump a ton of coal outside the back door and we used to help shovel it in the coal house, it was hard work, but great fun. The neighbours would borrow a pail of... Read more
