Nostalgic memories of Jarrow's local history

Share your own memories of Jarrow and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I am looking for a photo of a street party celebrating the end of the war 1919 It was in WILLIAM BLACK STREET, JARROW (Catherine Cookson lived there once). My family are in this photo, and we would love a copy of it, can anyone help? The family name is Weir, and they lived a few doors away from Catherine Cookson when she was a child. This photo was on show in the library when they did a 'reconstuction' of Cathrine Cookson's life. Thank you.
My dad George Stephen Stonehouse was born in Jarrow, England in 1912. He left for Canada in the 1920s. The only family he ever mentioned was a sister and mother, if anyone has any memories or information please contact me. Thanks
