My uncle Norman has passed away peacefully during the night. Some of our very senior residents may remember that many years ago he was a National Coal Board joiner at Ushaw Moor Colliery. In his younger days he followed family tradition by playing cricket for Ushaw Moor; he was a promising spinner albeit, at times, lacking in sufficient confidence to give the ball some air. He was also an accomplished ballroom dancer and loved every minute of that activity.
I have wonderful memories of our family Christmas celebrations in the 50s and much of that is down to the three uncles: Norman, Arthur Hodgson and Tommy Carse but some of that is already described on site.
