Seaside Lane

A Memory of Easington Colliery.

I love this picture.  It was taken at the 'top of the street'; Nannie and Grandad (Emma and Joe Lawson) lived on Byron Street from the 1950s to the 1970s.  My favourite shops were Robinsons (the source of many birthday cards and Bunty and Judy comics), the Co-op (I can still remember the account number) and Burdesses (who can forget their meat pies). I spent many a summer in Easington and loved every minute I spent there. I have since moved to Canada but on my trips back to the UK I always visit Easington.
