On Behalf of Pen Ort
I first visited in 1963. I used to stay with Tan Williamson and Harry Salvidge. They lived at 1 Deerness View, but prior to lived in High View and ran the fish shop near there.
The reason I went there (I lived in Wembley) was because my mam who was from Low Fell joined the ATS and was billeted with Tan and Harry in 1939. She was stationed at Brancepeth Castle.
I have many fond memories of Ushaw Moor, also pictures, mainly of people but a couple of the colliery shaft, which was all that was left in 1963. I also have some old 8mm film which I must get to one of these days.
Most of this would be around Lilac Park where my friends Linda and Sheila Williamson lived. I used to stay with them when I came up in the summer holidays.

ReplyDeleteit could well be.... I knew them from 1963. They lived at 21 lilac park.
ReplyDeleteYou knew them?
Than you
what a small world as my grandmother lived at 22 lilac park her name was elizabeth riley
ReplyDeleteWow, was she there in the 60s Frank?
ReplyDeleteI am trying to recall the people I knew.
Some names from that time and area:
John Bowery (found him)
Janice Winn.
Dave Lewney (who I have found)
Buster Burnette.
Alan Jolly.
More, but cant think.
Norman and Eva Williamson were certainly at number 21 from 62 to 75. But I lost touch around 71.
Love to find Linda and Sheila and anyone who knew Tan and Harry.
Thanks.
I keep remembering more names from those days. But none of those people seem to use this site.

Eddie, friend of Mickey

I know there are more, but memory fails me.
I wonder where they all are, does any one know?
What became of them all???
Did the 8mm film ever get converted to a dvd.?
