Merry Old Stanhope What A Place

A Memory of Stanhope.

Now then, what year was Stanhope cut off on all sides, Crawley had snow almost up to the telephone line, going to Frostley was impossible, in fact it was about 6 days that we were stuck in for, latest jobs were snow clearing from most footpaths. I remember Mr Fleaming and Mr Corner and oh yes Mr Pervis from Hartlepool (are you still in Hartlepool?). You know me, I was a small kid, I was in Crawley House and lived on the top dorm. Shall I tell you who I am? No, not yet , but I will give you one more clue, I used to live in Sunderland (but not now, I'm in York).
