My Dads Memories

A Memory of Horden.

My father is from Horden, born 1928 November, had two step brothers. Johnson was my fathers name, Hill was his brother's, Singer he was and Naisbett was the other brother's name - all miners. My grandmother was a Johnson, my other Nana was an Edwards with children Lucy, Harry and Pearl. They lived in Cotsford Park, Fourth Street and lots of other places in Horden. My grandad, Bobby, was a pitmans champion boxer, played cricket down the red reck when they were a bowler short, even in his slippers and has a stand named after him - very proud of him any one knows or wants to reminise.
