31 Snowdon Place & Salukis

A Memory of Peterlee.

I lived in 31 Snowdon Place in the 70's for around 7 or 8 years as a young child and have very found memories. I recall the bend (crash corner) outside the house which caught out many a car. I went to Howletch Lane primary school and recall the PE teacher, being George Cortney, who went on to become an international football referee I believe. Mam worked at Tudour but dad worked at Salukis fur fabric factory & I recall getting dragged down at the weekends when he was at work and left to run around empty board rooms & diving off platforms in the factory, into giant bags of stuffing. No way you could get away with that in this day & age.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any old photos of Saluki or Snowdon place from around that time. Last comment, I was told that the famous comedian Roy Walker, used to be a common face in the clubs in town and just wondering if this was the case?
