I Have Memory Of This.

A Memory of Peterlee.

Opposite the shops was Galloway road. during the snowy winter months I used to sledge downhill away from Galloway road,. and once crashed into a pile of wood that was covered in snow,I winded myself.
Just around the corner in Mansell crescent was the local police station. One evening when departing from the dance that was held in the "JP Hall house", I was on weekend leave from the army and was walking home, and being rather inebriated being escorted by my younger sister June and her friend Vivian Watson a coloured south African girl., I got dragged into the Police station by an over zealous "Bully type copper" who gave me a bit of a bashing! In the meantime whilst I was being bashed both girls ran home and told my mother and her husband what was happening. on their way to the station they saw me ready to throw a brick through the station window. Thank goodness they stopped me.
