The old wood buildings that were the chip shop and butchers

Having grown up in Seaton Sluice I can remember the old wooden buildings that were the chip shop and the one next to it being the butchers. I can also remember them being pulled down and the present ones being built.

Happy days

I was born in No. 23 Hastings Street  in 1950 (is anyone still living there?). Moved away 1968. Was a regular client of the cinema (flea pit ) at Klondyke. I remember the coal trains running above the road betweewn High Pit and Klondyke. The road dipped down under the bridge then rose up the other side. Long since gone. I spent my evenings, as a child, exploring the Cramlington countryside by torchlight. You cannot do that today. Happy days!!

My first visit to Nelson Village

My mother originated from Nelson Village and took us for our first visit when I was twelve years old. Her father (Joseph Heslop) worked down the pits, sadly he passed away before I was born. We met another couple, Mr and Mrs Kenny, who were very fond of my mother as a child. They were so pleased to see her and made us all so welcome. No one comes close to the friendliness and generosity that's shown from the Geordies. I will never forget my first visit and I hope I have more to come. Sadly my mum's passed away now but hopefully one day I will meet her relatives.
