Fond memories from the Antipodes
I have lived in Australia for 42 years but Coxhoe always remains home to me. The 7 Frith photos which are published at this site are the real Coxhoe to me because I was living there in that era and that is how it remains locked in my memory. These pictures take me back to the 28 happy years that I lived in loved in and left for a new life all those years ago.
I have been back on 3 occasions hoping to find some contact with my past life (old friends or their families) but to no avail. Perhaps better luck next time. Would be peased to hear from anyone in the area.

Golden days
It reminds me of the days when I used to visit my aunt.

Greys Drapers
Grandfather William Grey owned a number of shops in Wingate, Co. Durham one was at 47 North Road West, Wingate, it was a drapers shop. Grandfather died in 1962, his last remaining shop was closed by my mother Winnie England and made into a house. My family were once very prominant in Wingate, they consisted of the Greys, the Races and the Tarrens. In the 1800s Robert Tarren owned the Plough Inn in Hutton Henry. I would be very interested in any information about current family members.

Fir Tree Inn
I remember the Fir Tree Inn in its hey day. My Aunty Peggy was the landlady; she was a wonderful person; she always wore spectacular dresses when behind the bar.
The Inn was at the top of the village just where Wellfield Road began.
Sadly Aunt Peggy and Uncle Dick are with us no more but memory is a marvellous thing, a part of me will always remember the atmosphere behind the bar even though I was(technically) too young to work there.
