Ryhope Street

A Memory of Fence Houses.

I was born at no 1 Ryhope Street and my mother's maiden name was Vose. My grandfather Vose lived on the right hand side in the miners bungalows. I remember the field at the front of the dwellings was one big hole and there were allotments at the bottom of the road. My mum's sister lived at no 1, her surname was Wheeler, her husband was known as Cuddy. I have been back a couple of times over the years but as I was only 2 when we went back south I do not remember too much about that time.
