Click the Link and watch this lovely silent amateur film taken 73 years ago in Jarrow.
Can you recognise which Church the couple were married in?
I know but not saying yet

I think Christ Church. I am fairly sure that the Gazette Office and George Youngs Estate Agency are in the background when the wedding car leaves. Also the buttresses on the church are familiar.
Do we know who the people were?

Hi Mac.
It was a Clarkson - Richardson wedding in Christ Church. They started the filming in West Park near the Park Rd entrance. Yes you saw Grange Rd in the clip which still looks the same today.

The little blonde girl at 4.44 is my mother in law Peggy Maughan nee green. Strangely enough there is a similar wedding by the same man featuring Peggy marrying Harry Maughan. Not sure how to post link but if you google Maughan Green wedding jarrow it shows up

Here is your Maughan Green Wedding Jarra

Thanks Norman. I believe the cameraman Mr Lawson or his son had a farm at Monkton village. Also good at leek growing.
