Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My mother was born and brought up in west auckland in the 19
20 s she lived in a small miners cottage in a small street which I think was called New Street lived there with her parents 2 brothers and sister I remember going there when we were very young. Our aunt had the sweet shop along the front. Just trying to find photos of the 1950 s of the place.. and anything anyone remembers from that time
I didnt live in West Auckland but had a lovely holiday there in 1962. I stayed with a Mrs Vart at Holme Mill in Spring Gardens. I can remember going to the milking shed for a jug of fresh milk for the breakfasts and collecting the eggs.
my mothers mother:gladys raine owned the grocers shop on 2 station road in the 1930s,the numbers changed and now it would be no 8... i have a lovely photo which i will add shortly
My mum was also born in the Nursery at West Auckland and later moved to Bishop Auckland. She has loads of memories of both places. Do you remember the matchstick bridge and getting lettuce and spring onions from the allotment holders on a Sunday? Also brambling and having the odd bit of raw turnip from the fields over the river.
