Melvyn Gray Ushaw Moor in 1938

I wonder if anyone can help at all? My father was born in Ushaw Moor in 1938 and lived there till he was a teenager in High View, I think it was called. His name's Melvyn Gray and he was the only child of Bill and Peggy Gray. His best friend was George, but I don't know his surname.

My sister and I are organising a bit of a birthday do for him as he reaches 70 this year and we'd love to have something from Ushaw Moor from the time he lived there, even if it's only a memory from someone or a photo of the village at the time. He and my mum live near Durham, so they're not a million miles away, but my dad's memories of UM are all of his childhood and it would be great to do something related to that for this milestone birthday.

Any help posted on here would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Rachel Green.
