the cop: A memory of Langley Park

The Cop

A Memory of Langley Park.

I lived at 14 Darcy Street until we moved to Wallsend in 1965. My name is Allan Calvert, we lived next door to Steven Oppenshaw and his family. I have lots of great memories of good friends, June Welsh, Dennis Thompson, David Maddison and of course my best mate Stevie. I eventually sailed all over the place but Langley never left me or my dad Ronnie. Although the pit nearly killed twice he would have on many an occasion gladly have moved back to Langley and the pit. Anyone remember me I would be happy to hear from you.
