South Shields Sanddancers Forum

I have just seen in the 'Motality' thread you were at CP 1953. That was the year I left. Perhaps I know you? I had 2 cousins at the girls school too (same age)
If you go to my South Shields web site (a work in progress) you will find a bit about me and where I lived.

I really enjoyed looking at your scrapbook. Thank you for posting the link

Many thanks. I just wish I could find the time to fill it up. I am sure it will be enjoyed by many.

I really enjoyed your site well done.i lived not far away in King George Road Ridgeway end,but knew the area well,Park avenue Ashgrove ,I was also disapointed to hear some of the estate was to go.Teachers at the time i left Mr Lyons Mr Milne and i forget the name of the ape who did PT.

Hello Rusty,
Yes 'Daddy' Milne. PE teacher was a Scottish psychopath named Mr Frazer, Mr Tweedy was my teacher ( there's a pic of him on the schools page )Mr Moffat was music and my favourite Mr Henry was Art & Mr Young was Science. The rest of the names are now in the pit of the forgotten.

As soon as you said Mr Frazer i searched for a medicine ball.

Hi hartman045.
Excellent site, well done.

My dad's family lived at 46 Park Avenue from the late '30's to the late 60's.
We used to get fish and chips from the Park Lane chippie after football matches at the Rec - smashin!
They don't have fish like that these days - so hot and fresh and BIG! It's tiddlers they sell nowadays!

Keep up the good work. =D> =D>

the only girls names i remember was betty boot from ashgrove ave,elizebeth from KG Road and some Angel called Niomi from the Nook area. =D>

I remember one girl at primary school Betty Row as she was the one who dobbed me into the coppers fror breaking the shool windows.

Just revisiting the post on Cleadon Park school,was there not a brick wall dividing the school playground boys one side girls the other ?

Yes, there was. We used to stand on each ohers shoulders to watch the girls playing netball (in their knickers) Happy days eh?
If it was now, we would probably be Tasered or shot in the headby 60 police marksmen.
