An old undated postcard photo but at a guess circa 1955ish showing York Avenue.

WoW. Broad and wide open spaces. Not to be seen mid thirties down the Quay, back to backs and one ups and one down. Severn of us lived in a one up and one down way back when I was born mid 1927.No hands out then ( Benefits) apart from the dreaded 'Means test Man' Men standing outside the Shipyards gates and Dole Office waiting to be called ' one of the luck ones Many men were in The Territorial Army .Patriotism would be in there somewhere, but, money was the big carrot.! Sorry but the thread just led me on Regards

Mr Noble, nothing wrong with a thread leading you astray. It happens.

Nice to hear your memories of down the Quay, seven of you in a one up one down, and no hand-outs.

To be honest, the modern youth don't know they've been born, in the words of my wise old Mam!!

I always like to hear what you’ve got to say Bob as my Dad was born December 1926 in Dunston Street. I think we might’ve connected before. He was Harry Jackson
