Faint Remembered Memories
A Memory of Thornley.
I was born in 70 Thornlaw North in 1945, my parents were Herbert and Josephine Mary Cumming and my sister was Joan. I believe that the people next door were the Dunnets (Salvation Army). I used to play with Eileen Toy who must have lived close by ! Up the street lived the Crisp family. Mr Crisp had a ride-on steam-engined railway track, great fun. The milk was delivered by horse and cart and ladled into your own containers. If lucky enough to get an ice cream I always had "monkeys blood" on mine.
We moved away to Washington when I was 5 and I have only visited a few times and not for a long time in the intervening 60 years.
I left the North East at 16, to see the world via the RAF, but eventually married a girl from Jesmond. All families long time gone.
