Peter Blacklock, born 1949 & lived in 4th Street until 1957 with Sister Margaret (b.1952.) We then moved to Churchill Street after the compulsory purchase of our house. My kids laugh when I tell them I played at the beach in Wallsend - by Lamy's Boat yard Off Hadrian Rd. Slapped by a Policeman's cape for playing on the bottom railway line, pictures or 'Tanna rush' on Saturday mornings at the Gaumont or Ritz, if you could afford 9d., Richardson Dees & the arched window on the stairs, the pork butchers for peas pudding, Casey's Court, bookies runners outside the Coach & Horses... Do I go on? I could!
Names - Marshalls, Harrison, Welsh, Pinkney, Ann Redsil (she had a telly, The Lone Ranger)
Thanks for reading some of my memories!

Hi Peter,
I was born in Sixth street 1947 and moved in 1951 to Dorset Avenue. I went to the Buddle School and knew another youngster by the name of Blacklock his first name escapes me though. However I have found an old school photo and i am sure he is on it. Please mail me back.

regards paul Bennett

Hello Paul
I'm afraid I can't recall another Blacklock. Cousins were much younger & lived outside of Wallsend. I have a Richrdson Dees photo from either 57 or 58 with our teacher Miss Burrell & other names remembered Fairless, Lee, Waugh, Appleton(?), May, McGuinness.
From the Hadrian Secondary School leavers of '65, we still have a reunion that started in 2000. Names that continually attend - Bessant, Atkins, Adams, England, Handy, Plant, Lisgo, Davies, Allen, Jones, Tron etc
If it's worth it, would be great to have more contact..
Peter
