Lyn Waugh South Pelaw School About 1965

I went to South Pelaw school after the closure of Victoria school, Chester-le-street. Mr Laws was headmaster. It was a lovely school and I have good memories of Mr Laws. My sisters & I walked up "the steps" to get to school every day. Having completed my family tree, much of my family history is in South Pelaw & the collieries. My mum eventually lived in Conyers Road until her death. I also remember walking across the pit heaps to go to The Hermitage School
