This old gazette cutting has a little info.

Sorry if I missed something but Readheads is not Brighams.

There was a Laurie Westall died in South Shields 10th January 2005 aged 84 he left two children Laurie and Susan. He also had a brother John and a sister Alice who survived him..

Maybe they became rich....Newmans.... was a well known factory in Shields up until the 1980s when it closed



Further digging suggests Henry Freedman a Londoner from the Jewish east end opened the factory in the 1930s

The Golden Lion was a very old pub in King Street South Shields, I believe it was a coaching station before the railways were built, the London coach starting from there. I have some old gazette cuttings but the quality is not good. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n102/Pilot_04/GoldenLion2.jpg ht...

Did she have two Brothers ?

I meantioned this to friends of mine who knew the two sisters and their brother well from those days but they couldnt tell me what happened to them as they lost touch.

It was at the bottom of Fowler street but they move to opposite the town hall

When I was deep sea the thing I missed most was Mrs P

After a 10 month trip I drydocked in Brighams in September 1969 on the Border Lass, I met my now wife a few days later, we married in 1971 and have our 40th wedding aniversary coming up next month.

I often finished off in the Kismet in the 1960s

In Wales it depended which county you were in, I used to go to the Menai Straits regatta with my college and we stayed in Menai village on Angelsey which was dry on a Sunday, but walk over to the mainland and the pubs were open.

I had a feeling on a Sunday the closed half an hour earlier at 10pm, but I could rarely afford drink in my early years

We used to meet in the pier bar and work our way to the mill dam ! A pickled egg in the North Eastern was about the half way point.

It was certainly in the market place!!!!!!
