I know I have said this many times before, but it's amazing how clear some of these old photos are, like looking back into the past.

Hi Stan, I didnt know until about 15 yrs ago that the Manager of the Pyro John Rodger was a relative. By coincidence the Wilson family lived 2 doors down on that photo where my classmate Kevin Wilson lived and I must have passed them many times.
Here's his daughter Eileen and her American husband at home in San Diego.
I think Margaret McDonald remembered Eileen Rodger from their Jarrow Grammar School days in the 1950s. You might have seen Eileen when you lived in Quarry Rd Stan

Thank you Norman I do remember the family very well. Mr Rodgers always parked his car in Park Road for some reason. Somehow I think his front door was actually in Park Road rather than Canning Street. Also Wilson family No 14 !
