Born In Friar Street 1945
A Memory of Shotton Colliery.
I was born in my grandma's house at 9 Friar Street, but my parents and myself lived in an upstairs flat behind Jack the barbers and Susie Greener's shop until I was 2. We then became very posh when we moved into a brand new house in Crossfield Crescent (the prefabs). These houses were intended to last for 10 years, but 67 years later they are still standing. I have happy memories of Shotton Infants, Junior Girls and A J Dawsons Grammar School. I now live in Durham and have just retired from nursing. Marie Owens nee Mckenna
