A Memory of Gateshead.
We moved into 53 Lanchester Avenue in October 1952 while I was away on National Service after living in Leopold Street for 16 years. Alan, I think you lived opposite. You would be the same age as Ken Quigley who lived in 51 with his elder brother Peter. Peter was five years old when I was demobbed in September 1953. Sadly Peter passed away about three years ago. Did you know the lad near to your house who married Matty Heslop's daughter? I think his name was Dennis. I knew the family very well as the Gallon's next to the cut. I got my first wrist watch out of Elsie's catalogue. £4 pounds with four shillings interest over I think twenty weeks. I think you might have Known the Carrol's at 79. I am sure that the youngest son of two is the grandfather of Andy Carrol who scored his first goal for England last night. But the 1-1 draw shopped me for £200 as I banked on an England win. I could write more but I think you have covered a lot of ground in your message.
