Bit early for me.Worked there in the 70s.Were you still there then.

I used to work for Jacky Hodgson when I was young.My paper round was to sell papers in the wards at the Ingham infirmary.I used to sell the morning papers and then go off to school.Then go back in the evening with the gazettes.On a saturday I would sell the gazettes and then wait on the corner of Im...

Hi Lynn
If you log onto www.southtynesideimages.org and click on search images.Then in the search box enter Burton House Inn you will find 3 photo,s of the pub and it mentions in one that the innkeeper was called Sisterson.Hope this helps.

The main purpose of the Allens coins was for allowing people credit to buy things in the store and the balance was paid back weekly or monthly in the office upstairs.

Hi Delilah cat
My mother Nan Smith used to work at the Burndept factory in River Drive round about the early 60s.Dont suppose you remember her.I know there was a lot of people there at the time.

I went to the Barnes. I only have good memories of the school.We were a few hundred kids all in the same boat all living in the same area with outside toilets and 2 to a room and no fridges or washing machines.Once a month we,d collect our rags and woolies and go down to Hanrattys scapyard to get so...

That was my doctors surgery also.Dr o Leary used to blame every ailment on alcohol.Twisted ankle ??? your drinking too much.I remember the wooden floors in the building.You could hear every footstep from people coming to and from the waiting room.Regent street ran all the way along to just behind th...

I was born in this area in the early fifties and cant remember any one going round sharpening scissors and this photo looks to me to be a bit older than the 60s.

Its a well known fact that 400,000 people were involved in the gemini project throughout the 60s.I dont know what they all did but a lot of them were scientists and highly qualified technicians.To call into question the integrity of everyone one of these individuals not to mention the astronauts is ...

Seems that almost a majority of young people today doubt that the moon landings took place.That somehow the 400,000 people who worked on the project and could to a man(or woman) have been sworn to eternal secrecy beggars belief.The Russians also would have had to be in on the act.It is true that Nix...

Would,nt mind popping down for a few drinks.Be plenty spirits on offer I take it.Will anybody be able to tell me if I,m gonna win the lotto soon.I like to plan ahead.

No I have,nt forgot.Never will,but these acts were carried out by a small minority group who could have been dealt with a lot more effectivly had the US and UK governments gone about it the right way.Instead they gave us what they called missleading intelligence {or lies} about a threat that did,nt ...
