I was born in Marsh Garth in 1959 but moved round the corner to Marshside when I was 2. I left in 1982. It looks so different now. Have lots of great memories, playing in the street and surrounding areas. Always playing on the 'tip' which was at the end of the street. Its a wonder we never caught anything or poisoned ourselves!
This mill is owned by my Aunt and Uncle. I spent many happy holidays up in Beckside and will always have fond memories of the beautiful old mill. Although I was always scared of the "ghosts"! This photo is before my time though, I wasn't born until 1977.
