Shared Memories of Staindrop

  Year: 1943 The Local
I would like to visit Staindrop again sometime to see how much it has changed since 1943. I was serving with the R.Es and we were in a tented camp on the outskirts of the town and doing Army Exercises out on the Moors and using live ammunition.
 I remember the local Pub because all the "live" stuff was kept in the cellars and every morning we would go there to collect what we needed . I dont know what the Landlord thought having that lot underneath him.
 Maybe one day I call in for a Pint and remind the present landlord that he missed a lot of exitement.
    Better not leave it too long as I am 85 yrs.
                                  Regards to all who read this useless information!
