Fun Times

I was born in 1962 and lived in Peterlee for only 6 years. I remember fun times and the holidays from school were full of activities on a big green, where you learnt how to roller skate, walk on stilts and had so much fun. Good times.

My Last Year in Peterlee

Hi, I am Kurt Kissling From Germany.
I lived with my sisters Jenny and Joan and my parents Kurt and Nelly for 2 years in Peterlee from 1956 till 1958. Then we left England. We live now in Germany 50 years but I never forget my Peterlee. I was born in Iveston.

changing Peterlee

The Photogragh of the town centre has changed a lot since it was build. This row of building is still there. They have just built around it making it into a masive complex. I often do my shopping in the town centre. We have an Asda and many more shops. I was born in 1962 but did not come to Peterlee until 1965 from Stoke-on-Trent i can remember walking up a down this street when my mother went to do her shopping. Peterlee has gone through many many changes since.
Does any one out there have some other details to fill me in on about Peterlee?
Are there any photogragh of Dene close area in the 1960s out there?
