Beautifully created video by James

A very nostalic clip that might have Hebburn ex pats in tears. A very well made 'then and now' video with perfect music to accompany it..

Nice video again James. You were way ahead of your time. A lot of Tyneside videos appearing at this time, but you were one of the first to do so. Hope all is well with you and your family, it’s been a long time since Melrose Ave. and Westminster cres.
Merry Christmas and happy new year from Harry in Chestermere Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

Lovely to see another Hebburn ex pat on here Harry.
I remember you well and of course went through school with your late brother John.
Do you know John Conway is also out there in Canada ? I know Canada is massive but worth asking

Norman, regarding John Conway, all I can tell you at this moment in time is that John opened his nice little machine shop in the Foothills industrial estate here in Calgary. The company I worked for in Calgary sent me to John’s shop to taper bore pressure vessel heads for welding. Played again John’s team, the Calgary Callies, in soccer tournaments in and around Calgary…. 1980’s.
All quiet about him until about 10 years ago when we met a lady in Cancun Mexico who used to be his babysitter. She told me “I don’t know the exact details, but John had been very ill, but recovered and was still alive then”
Since my retirement I have lost contact with a lot of educated trades people that came from all over the UK. The English, Irish Scots, the lot ( as Mark knoffler would say )
Hope this was helpful. I know he was a very successful businessman.
