Palmers Buildings

I was born in charles street in 1948 , i remember the duns , macmullens, we moved to howdon in about 53. i still recall playing down davy bank by pametrada.

I lived in Palmer street from 1960 to 1969, the four streets were a great place to grow up, I tell my grandchildren about playing down Davy bank. Happy days there and St. Peter's school.

I lived in Palmer Street from 1938 to 1955, me at 31 and my grannie at 19. Brenda, do you remember which number?

John Ainsley

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!

Peter Blacklock

Brenda, I lived in Palmer street from 1960 to 1969 my name is John Alcock then moved to Battle Hill

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
