Yes, I do miss my hometown, probably more as time goes on even though I haven't lived there since the 1980s. I visited regularly during the 1990s, but only a couple of times since then.

It's amazing to see how much Hebburn has changed over the years, with almost all the Newtown flats gone now and so many new houses everywhere. So very different from when I was growing up. People moving to Hebburn now have no idea what it used to look like.
