still on the subject....can anyone remember the pie and pea shop that was near carters newsagents in northcote street

the first meal the army ever bought me was from the a1 cafe, i signed on at the recruiting office just a few yards up the road and as it took all day they gave us a few bob for our dinner which most people spent at the a1. i think i got the braised kidneys.............

In the past the north sea was called the german sea or ocean, i seem to remember someone telling me that ocean road was once part of the river before it was filled in...maybe thats how these names come by

Can anyone remember the litttle guy who always sold his gazette at the junctions of ocean rd /king st /mile end rd

go to the genuki site and there you will get the northumberland/durham family hist society and there you will find the dates, I keep meaning to go meself but cant make it.I think it meets in the pub on top of westoe road

I knew a Noble family that lived in May street around the 60,s . Went to school with their son Richard

Hi I left westoe in the summer of 1964, sorry I have no photo,s but would love to hear from anyone that I might know
