Leazes Street
A Memory of Gateshead.
I was born in 44 Leazes St 1941. I remember playing in Burdon st with our gords and top and whips. My nana who lived in 36 Leazes St. used to send me to toddys beer shop for her jug of beer. I carried it back with a plate on top to stop it spilling, I used to have a sip of it - tasted horrible. When I was being a bad lad she would tell me Sandshoe Joe will come and get me. We moved to Bensham in the 50s. When I met my wife we got on talking about old Gateshead and she used to live in Peareth St. I went to Prior St. School and remember a Mrs Wilkinson - think she was head teacher. All good memories.

I also remember walking past a wood factory in the way home from school, I think it was called Skelly's but I can't remember if it was on Oak Dt or Wolseley Street.
