Nostalgic memories of Shotley Bridge's local history

Share your own memories of Shotley Bridge and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I was in Ward 24 in 1961 and 1962. I remember Staff Carter, (who became Sister Carter), Sister Pinkerton, Nurse Beech, Staff Kendall ? I cannot remember many of the other patients with whom I shared about three months during October - December. Regards.
I have found three postcards sent to my father at the Procter Memorial Home round about 1911/12. I thought at first that he might have been recuperating from some illness, but reading one of the cards it suggests that he could be scouting for fires. The writer sends his best respects to Mr Souter? and all others. I have searched for history of this building but can find nothing I wonder if anyone out there knows anything about it.
