Thank You
New to the Internet and looking at the Cleveland area, I came across a web site named “Slaggy Island” by Dick Fawcett, I thought it was wonderful, I visited the sight regularly and still do enjoy looking in at old South Bank.
How I wished there was something similar about old Grangetown, and the streets where I grew up. When I found a link on Dicks page for cardboard city, that was the beginning of a new experience for me.
I contacted John O’ Neil and immediately started to contribute to the site, and really enjoy doing so. I now visit the site regularly,it is a real trip down memory lane for me, which I enjoy immensely.
Thinking about where I spent most of my married life, and where my husband, and children grew up. I have decided, humbly I may add!, to emulate Dick and John and bring back old memories, this time of Coatham, and a lost treasure , Warrenby Village, and of course, Our Town! Redcar, which has always been my favourite place
My gratitude goes to:
Dick Fawcett for his
foresight
John ‘O’ Neil for a real step back in time.
Alison Nicholson,Andrew Hutton & Karen Maughan of communigate for their guidance.
Jim White for his extensive research.
George Ayton for his meticulous transcriptions.
