Growing Up

A Memory of West Cornforth.

I was brought up in Doggie from the age of 3and1/2 and lived in 12 Oak Terrace with my Aunt and Uncle. I left at age 17 years and have many memories of growing up. Do you remember the hills and holes? we used to roll our hard boiled coloured easter eggs down there and jape them. We used to stay out until the street lights came on and used to play marbles on the tiny patch of grass near out house. I remember going to the Durham Miners Gala but cannot remember the year except to say I went with friends and walked behind the banner with them in my capri pants and pumps, I thought I was so grown up. We used to go on our holidays to Blackpool everyear. Such memories, my surname in those days was McClean I hope some people remember me as I would love to chat. I am on FaceBook
