My Real Home.
A Memory of Witton Gilbert.
I grew up in Witton Gilbert, Rose Lea in the 1980/90s. (not really 'history' I know) But my childhood memories, which always make me think of it as a small close village with so much character, are the milkman, Tommy (I think) (who in my mind looked like Jack Nicholson!), an oldish man who used to ride past on the road everyday on an old bike with a basket of pigeons on the front. The coal men who everyone new, chatty, covered in soot and coal carrying the bags upto our offset house, pleasant as ever! Whilst at Sacriston junior school I designed the logo which they still use today, I hope it carries on :)
