memories - I was born in Wheatley Hill in 1950 and left in 1969 to join the RAF, sadly I have not returned as often as I should have. People may remember my grandfather George Thomson who for awhile ran the working mens club. I was born in Stoker crescent and after a spell living at the mens club we moved to Cain terrace where I stayed until moving to the new estate by the New Tavern ( now a house I believe ), memories of sitting in Balderseros shop drinking hot vimto, challenging each other to eat dry crackers, camping at Haltwhistle, I hung around with the Waites, Carrs, Hendersons to name just a few. Spending saturdays at the matinees at the Regal ( does anyone remember the Brooke Bond chimps being there once ) although now in the south you never forget your roots, and if anyone remebers me or my mother and her sisters please get in touch. Mother Iris, her sisters Nora, June, Anne and Pat all nee Thomson.... Collapse
