Tyne and Wear memories
Home to my McCue And Routledge Ancestors
This would have been an everyday sight for my ancestors who worked in the paper mill at Hendon and for the NE Railway.
Going to School
My family and I lived in Seaburn, a suburb of Sunderland north of the River Wear, and from 1942 to 1944 I attended the nursery department of the Sunderland High School, south of the Wear. Every morning and evening my father, who taught in Sunderland Technical College, would take and fetch me travelling in a tram like the one on this photo.
Happy Days
My parents used to take my brother and me to Roker Park so that we could play there. Our favourite game was rushing up and down the path running through the ravine, which can be seen on this picture.
Getting Lost in Binns
One day, when I was about 5 years old, Mother took me to Binns, which used to be a big store in Fawcett Street. While I was standing by one of the counters, lost in a daydream, Mother went to another counter a few feet away. Abruptly I woke from my dream when the shop assistant leaned over and asked me what I wanted, and because I didn't see Mother, I thought she had gone away and left me there. I rushed out into the street crying, and a small crowd collected around me. A lady asked me where I lived, I was able to tell her, she gave me money for my tram fare, and I travelled home on the top deck, happily singing to myself, for I'd got over my fright. By the time I reached Seaburn, where I lived, I was happy again, and couldn't imagine why Mother was in tears!
Illuminations
The illuminations were a yearly event in Roker Park and it was magic as a young child to visit each year - particularly scarey was Marley's Ghost in a cave in the ravine.
The other memory was of fishing for tiddlers in the pond or having rides on the little train.
The Fairy Dell in Roker Park
The fairy dell in Roker Park was magical. We really believed the fairies lived there.
Wartime in The Pallion
I was born in Scotland in 1936 through my who came from Wallsend. I have memories of the north east, my father's sister lived in the Pallion in the 1940s. We used to visit during the war, sleeping on mattresses on the floor. My aunt was Annie Mckinnell and I have a memory of a bomb dropping nearby which shook our house. I am 73 now and live in Kent. I have met Pallion people here who remember that, so Sunderland WAS bombed. I wasn't dreaming.
