Benton Way , Carville School And The Western

A Memory of Wallsend.

I used to live at 209 Benton Way overlooking Swans, when the 'big uns' were being built. We lived opposite Tommy Dolans shop - it was a happy place, if over run with mice. I went to Carville First School; my teacher's name was Miss Smith, an old teacher even then but by god she was good. I then went to The Western where I was taught by; 'pop' Robson, John Birse, Mr Moore and a great PE teacher called Livein. Is there anyone who remembers me from those happy days? My name is Allan Calvert, there were some great lads at all these schools Colin Smith, Sid Jackson...too many to name.
