Darlington, Post House Wynd c1965 (ref: D2032)
 Year: 1964 Oh to be sweet sixteen again!
I believe the girl walking in the photo with the shopping bag is myself at the age of 16 - 17 judging by my hair style at that time. I recognise the skirt as one I had made myself and my walk also. I also remember the cardigan I was wearing and of course I recognise myself. I had just walked past a cake shop where my sister worked at the time, and I am looking in a jeweller's window. I would have been very interested in the rings as I was due to be engaged on my 18th birthday in January 65. The Wynd is pretty much the same as it was then - very quaint and olde worlde - it was always a favourite place to saunter and window shop.

I cannot remember being photographed and so it was a great surprise when I received the book not even knowing that I was featured. Even my daughter recognised this photo as me!
