A Memory of Gateshead.

My name is Brian Boustead. Our family moved from the stinking smelly Teams, we lived 100 yards from the Tyne Flemming Streett Teams. In 1955 I was 7 years old and we moved to 100 Blackhill Crescent, Springwell. I have a twin brother called Ken, a brother called Robert and a sister Angela. We were called the terrible twins. What a fantastic place to live when you were kids. Our gang were Peter Fairless, Gordon Napier, John Noble, Micky Candlish, Larr Scollins, Tommy Allan, also Tom Laskey and many more. What a fantastic place for wildlife, plus I remember trying to swim in the Quarries at Springwell and Whindy Nook also. Can anyone remember the washer?
