Hello John, Belatedly I have just now found your note regarding living in Hawthorn Terrace, I remember your families surname.
Aged 14 after School I worked for Mr Burnside in Damside the Village Grocer and I used to deliver messages to the blind lady who was called Mrs Ferris, she lived on the top landing and her son who was probably at least 5 years older than me was called Sandy, I am sure you will remember them.
Do you have any old photos of you and your family when you lived in the Dean Village, if so it would be good to hear from you.
Regards,
Patrick McCole
John,
Even if you could provide some family photos and some of your memories of living with your family in Hawthorn Terrace, attending School, the Market Garden opposite your home, your Village pals etc., it would help me to obtain some interesting details, as I do not have any memories from any Villager that lived on that side of the Dean Village.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Patrick McCole
