My great grandmother lived in the Staincliffe Cottages in 1905. Her name was Margaret Brown, she had 3 children that I know of. Tom, who played for the Poolies, John, who was wounded in the 1st World War and succumbed to his injuries, and Maude Alice. Granny Brown, her sister Elizabeth and my grandmother Maude came to Canada shortly after 1909. Does anyone know of her or her family?

My memory of the Baths was getting up at 6.30am to get there for the First Session at 7am. I would swim until 8am then either ride on my bike or walk along the Seafront and Mainsforth Terrace, past the Coal Staithes to Middleton where I was an Office Boy at Richardsons Westgarth.

My Mam and Dad who lived in the town for over 45 years until they moved to Adelaide 16 years ago have recently moved back to Seaton Carew and bought 13a The Cliff (which is the first house you can see from left to right in picture). In the last 100 years I reckon the house has seen a lot happy memories, let's hope they contiune.

My father waa from Seaton Carew. He was called Douglas Wilson and had 3 sisters I think, Marilyn was one, and a brother, Keith. I remember visiting during the late 1960 early 1970s. I think my grandparents ran a police section house but can't find any info about any relatives or a police section house. I think my grandfather was Arthur or Ernest and my grandmother's maiden name was Robson.If you have any info please leave a comment or e-mail me at: jeffwilson19@btinternet.com
