County Durham memories
Childhood Days
I was born in Quarrington Hill in 1941 and left to train as a nurse aged 17. Being post war it was difficult, everything on rations and little money. My school was Cassop County Primary. Our days were spent on the village green, rose-hip picking, blackberry picking, catching tadpoles, going to Cassop bluebell wood, street games with all village families, just wonderful happy times. I now live in Jersey, Channel Islands, which is tranquil and lovely but I will never forget my happiness in our village, visiting all the woods and whinnies was magic, we would stay outdoors from dawn to dusk.
Fond Memories From The Antipodes
I have lived in Australia for 42 years but Coxhoe always remains home to me. The 7 Frith photos which are published at this site are the real Coxhoe to me because I was living there in that era and that is how it remains locked in my memory. These pictures take me back to the 28 happy years that I lived in loved in and left for a new life all those years ago.
I have been back on 3 occasions hoping to find some contact with my past life (old friends or their families) but to no avail. Perhaps better luck next time. Would be peased to hear from anyone in the area.
Thomas Kew
Does anyone know of anything about the KEW family that lived at 13, North Plantation Row? Thomas and Margaret (Thubburn) are my great-grandparents. Any info would be great. Thanks, Doug Kew.
Growing up
my memory of living in "God's Village" is of days roaming round the grange, going down the fields to the beck, getting to the top of the "Red Ash Pit Heap", coming back round the coke works and spending loads of time messing around the TMS garage, most week nights and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Aunty's Molly's House
I stayed at my Aunty Molly's house a lot. I remember Uncle Tom coming home from the pit black as anything, and going to the local flea pit with my cousins, also going to Aunty Anne's house and Uncle George in the tin tub, black as the ace of. spades, with Aunty scrubbing him clean. I have a lot of info of the Kews's, I have put a headstone on Grandma Kew's grave with mum's, my sister's and my wife's names on as well.
Happy Doggie Days
I rmember playing football in Elm Road, going up the donkey woods, catching newts down the bottom wood, deep snow in winter, happy days.
Distant Memories
I was born in Doggie in 1934. I remember playing football in Elm Rd refereed to by the person in one of your letters and was wondering if I went to school with that person. Although he/she may know my nephews John and Alfred Mould better. I left Doggie when I was 18 years old and now live in Australia, but have fond memories of my childhood in Cornforth and remember the very things mentioned by people on your website. I often look on Google Maps at the village and try to find the places I remember like "The Wood", only to find it has gone. We as children used to go to the "Hills and Holes" which, thinking about it, must have been some early diggings of some sort. I remember with great fondness the names of the children I went to school with in Mr Chambers class and wonder what happened to them. I wonder if they remember? I find myself almost in tears as I remember their... Read more
