Tennant St children 88 years ago

Posted by Norman Dunn on May 3, 2022, 10:54:20

Norman Shaw loaned me quite a few photos to copy over 20 years ago. Here he is as a baby in 1934 outside his home in Tennant St 88 years ago.
The older children will be in their 90s now, so is it possible to get a name or two?

We used to own that house (102 Tennant street) a lovely big house, 4 Bedrooms and I understand that two brothers built the estate and one of them built that house for himself. Everyone who goes into the house say that it has a wonderful atmosphere. If it had had a bigger garden we would never have moved. We were lucky enough to have been invited to look around by the present owners and were able to exchange some interesting information.

This is our house now, we've been here 19 years now. It's great to see old photos of it and would be lovely to see more if there are any.

Aplogies for my mistake. Norman Shaw was born in 104 Tennant St. But it is still a coincidence that Mac & Kerry have still seen their old home from all those years ago. Here is another pic from across the street 1934.

A funny story that I told to Kerry and Barry after being kindly being invited back to our old home.I decided to refit the kitchen assisted by my son, when we took the panelling off the back wall it revealed a locked door with no handle, my wife was terrified of it as I told her it could hide money or a dead body, every time she went into the kitchen she used to look at the door. I decided to see what could be on the other side as behind the wall was a shed, went into the shed, removed the panelling and there was the other side of the door. I didn’t tell my wife but waited until one day when she was in the kitchen, I went out into the shed and knocked on the door, you could hear her screams down South Shields, what a horrible man I am but loved it.
