My Memories Of Ryhope
A Memory of Ryhope.
As a child in the 50's and 60's I can remember going in the school holidays to stay with my fathers friends,
In Goundry Avenue, Ryhope. They were Jack and Lil Richardson. Jack worked at Ryhope pit. They had two children Colin and Lilian. My sister and I always referred to Jack and Lil as Uncle and Aunt although they were no relation.
We loved to go down to the beach, and scrambling over the rocks. Also walking through Ryhope dene to the old blockhouse on the beach there. We also visited our real cousins who lived in Seaham Harbour just along the coast. I always enjoy returning to Ryhope it has a special place in our hearts.
