Childhood Memories
A Memory of Morpeth.
I was born in Morpeth, lived there until I was 14 When my family moved to New Zealand. I have never forgotten my childhood days, I have so many fond memories. Our family moved into a house in West Park in the early 50’s, we had open fields from West Park up to Bewick’s farm and the Common Camp. Gradually, new houses were built right up to what I remember as Springhill Walk, and towards the walking track to the old Abby at Mitford.
I have clear memories of the shops in Bridge Street, Appleby’s bookshop, Maynard’s, Bertha Burns, Supplies Stores where my Mum did her main shopping for groceries. Porky Gebberds for ham and pease pudding, best ham and pease pudding ever! I could write a book about my childhood memories, perhaps I should put that on my bucket list before I get too old!
