Nothing Had Changed When I Left The Uk In 1975

A Memory of East Boldon.

This photo is exactly as I remember the place from the 1960s and 1970s. On the horizon is the rail station with it's level crossing. Used to ride to the station from the other (Cleadon) side after school as a kid and collect the numbers of trains hurtling through the station. Always excited by the fast express trains which did not stop of course as they were heading from London to Edinburgh!

The buildings on the right housed our local doctor, Dr. Kinsella in a surgery on the top floor. Cleadon did not have any doctors in those days, so our parents brought us here if we got sick.

I lived on the Cleadon side of the tracks till I got married and we bought a house facing the station on Glencourse in the 60 ,s .,that is when everybody knew your name .
I remember the long line up to see Dr. Forbes ,and seeing him in front of the fire paying house calls .,those were the days.
Does anyone remember Derek Law ,would love to know how his life went .
We live on Vancouver Island now ,since the late 60,s .
