Biography And Memories

A Memory of Consett.

I am writing this on behalf of my wife, nee Gena Brown from the old Stirling Castle, otherwise known as the Bottom House, but the one she remembers best is the Staneford Arms where her mother held the licence. Her Auntie Nan, Grace McDonald, had the Queens on Middle street. Gena was head nurse in the OR at Shotley Bridge hospital, and that is where we met, in 1955. Three years later we were both in Canada, and have had a wonderful life together.
