Childhood: A memory of Grange Villa

Childhood

A Memory of Grange Villa.

I lived in Grange Villa until the pit closed at Craghead and we moved to Nottinghamshire. I was 10. I had a great childhood in Grange Villa, we lived in West Street facing Nobels Caravans. I loved to play down the hilly. My friends included Jackie Blueitt and Jacqueline Lund to name just two. I loved the school and hated it when it closed and we all moved up to the new one at West Pelton.
