Memories Of The Queen!
A Memory of Wheatley Hill.
I remember the Queen riding through Wheatly Hill and the flag waving. It was 1960 so I was 4 at the time. I remember trudging through the snow along a main street to go to school - this must have been Wheatley Hill school and I remember the name Mrs Hartnell ?? Perhaps she was my teacher. I also remember sitting in the school hall, I think listening to 'watch with mother"? So many memories have been flooding back. I Lived at 5 Dalton Terrace, I remember living on a bank. Baldeseras !..going there for sweets ...my nana lived in Wheatley Hill too, she was named Harriet Tompson, my mum was Jenny Vincent, married to Ted Vincent, a miner. They had 5 children, 4 boys and myself.
We moved to Stoke on Trent when I was 10 in 1966. I sill live here but regard Durham as 'home".
I am happy to share
My memories with anyone out there from Wheatley Hill...

Sitting here at work and just found this site.I'm sure I was in your class at Wheatleyhill enfants and juniors. The head teachers were Miss Greenwell and Mr.wright. I left Wheatleyhill in 1976 and now live in Kent. A few names I remember were Christine Barnet. Shirley Parkin, Carol White, twins Catherine and Sandra Cowie. John Carr,Bryan Harker, Colin Ramage, to name but a few.
Best Wishes.
