Savouries

A Memory of Darlington.

My name is Christine Galloway (nee Blenkinsopp).
The stall in the indoor market still sells hot sausage and onion in a bread bun (savouries bun), the family who owned it in the 1960s only left the business about fourteen years ago but they passed the secret recipe on to the the next owners. There are now tables so you can eat in.
I have fond memories of the old baths in Gladstone Street with the turnstiles you had to go through to go in and out. There was the chocolate and hot soup machine in the lobby for on the way home, if you were lucky enough to have enough money for some.
I also remember the skating rink in the south park, there was this Chinese man that I was mesmerized by as he was one of the few really good skaters that used to go there, we would be all holding on to the railings and falling over. They were the good old days.
