Chemist: A memory of Esh Winning

Chemist

A Memory of Esh Winning.

I lived in Esh Winnning from about 1956 to 1968. My name was Hannon and my Dad was the Pharmacist, first for the Co-op and then in his own shop next to the fish and chip shop. My Mum had the hairdressers on Station Avenue. I married in 1968 in Waterhouses Church then left to move South. In 1987 we moved to Germany and in 1995 to France. I went to school in Esh Winning, first the Catholic Junior School and took my first Communion in the Catholic Church, then moved to the Protestant School, goodness knows why. One outstanding memory is when the Royal train spent the night in the village station. Can anyone remember where they were going?

I lived in Esh Winning from the age of 7, we moved from Ushaw Moor in 1959 when my mam and dad became steward and stewardess of Newhouse workmans' club. We lived in Station Avenue just round the corner from you Lynn, and when i was 16 /17 started working at Hannons Chemist along with Rita Splevins. by then your mam and dad lived in the flat upstairs, I loved working there until I moved to southport when i was 22.I remember going to your sisters wedding, with Rita and Sandra Gilchrist. If i remember it right I used to sometimes play with your sister, she had lovely long red hair. Happy Memories.
