North Ormesby
A Memory of North Ormesby.
I was born in Queen St in 1954. I have very good memories of my childhood. People looked after each other because everyone was in the same boat, nobody had nowt. As kids, we used to play down shortie bank on the handcarts. My nana, Lizzie Parrish lived in the big house that was at the top of Short St, then moved across the road to 2 Lower Pennyman St. Lots of people who came out of the Cleveland pub on Smeaton St would often come into Nana's backyard to use the toilet. There was a shop called Martindales on Smeaton St; my brother used to wash the car for them and got 2/6. We used to go carol singing, then treat ourselves at the penny drink shop. Happy days.
