Think it was probably won by one of our children, possibly at Leslies Sports or possibly Butlins.

Sorry Norman, no, neither Pat or any of the family played tennis, a total mystery but if anyone can solve it it will be a member of your board.

Could it be anything to do with the technical college?

I was clutching at straws Mac but can nobody in the family remember, when you have time you may find a clue in a photograph album. I do hope you solve the mystery.

I think there was a Toy manufacturer in the Colliery area but cant find it in my records.
Could it have been Hebburn Dainty Toys Co where Patricia's Rosette came from?

Norman, your guess is as good as mine but I doubt it, the suggestion about a Flower show in the park is a possibility but doesn’t explain the DTC .

Just had a thought ( Dangerous) but could it be Hebburn District Town Council ?

As I remember, the council was called the Urban District Council. I also wondered about council or college as a possibility. I don't remember anything called DTC in my time there (pre-1971). I'll dig out an old map I have and see if it gives any clues.

Yes, I definitely remember signs saying HUDC, stood for Hebburn Urban District Council, I remember my gran telling me!
