Hi, my name was Christine Sanderson and I lived in Rydal Ave from1963. Before that on Pembertons Bank. My dad Jack Sanderson, was passionate about the village, and wrote 10 local history books about Easington Lane. He also had dozens of photographs. There is now a display of photographs in ELCAP, ( old Welfare) in the Brickgarth. Well worth a visit.
I grew up in School View opposite the secondary school. Great memories of Easington Lane and school, especially being in the athletics team. Favourite teachers were Mrs Hudson, Mr Anderson and Miss Bunker. Sadly the school burned down years later. I now live in Hetton. Mr John Hope
