Kibblesworth
I was born in Kibblesworth in 1940. My dad left when I was 6 weeks old to fight in the Second World War. After years in a prisoner of war camp in Japan he arrived home when I was 5 years old. I went to Kibblesworth primary school from 1945 till 1951 when I went to Chester le Street Secondary Modern sShool. A special aunty was Mary Wilson, and Uncle Jack (Alan's parents). I still keep in touch with Alan via e-mail. Friends I remember from school days were Pauline Kay, Glynis Bell and Elspeth Brown Kibblesworth has lots of good memories of when you were able to play out at nights and your parents did not need to worry. Special events were the Sunday School Anniversaries when we all got special outfits. I also remember playing tennis at the Welfare and dances at the Institute. In 1974 I moved to BC, Canada, with my husband and 2 children but I still remember my days in the village. My maiden name was Rowell.

Does anyone remember someone called Matty Whitticker? And what year did the pit close?

I am researching my maiden name Mowbray from this area, in fact all over the north of England, so would be happy to hear from anyone who I can share information with of glean any information from. My family were in the Kibblesworth area about 1600/1700. Thanks. Anne Bell.
