I think you have enough information already to find out what you want on the sixth floor of the new City Library in Newcastle which is the equivalent of what used to be called Somerset House in London. You can find any information regarding births, deaths and marriages in the South Shields/Jarrow/H...

Yes, Robison's sounds right. I don't remember a Hossners though. I remember the butcher on the next block, the one that became Frederick Street, was Joe's.

Yes, I think I missed out there.

Fat Will - aka Billy Egner, Headmaster of the Boys Grammar-Tech, was the only teacher there I was really wary off. Most of the others, like Jimmy "Ginboy" Emerson, Harry "The Rat" Wake, Ken Slater, and Ken "Zoony" Smith, were more of a laugh than fearsome. Some of the older teachers, like Mr Souter...

I can't believe people used to go there in the 80s and 90s. My clubbing days in SS were in the 70s and none of us would have gone there as it was for the oldies.

I was there for different reasons one Sat and discovered my father's date of birth (I vaguely knew...

I too was born in the early Fifties and had a good time in downtown South Shields at weekends, even on a Sat afternoon. Of course, it was always coloured by the wanderlust and need to escape from a small town that many people have. But it's not looking thru rose-coloured specs to say the 60s and 70s...
