Hello Again Connie, Thats certainly a good long marrage and it didn't

take you long, i waited till i was 22.

I was fostered when i left the homes and it was very strange moving into

a new home, i made new friends in the street but took me awhile

to settle at school and i did'nt like it. :confused:

 

ps, did you recongnise any names i put on this thread.

 

When you see your ronnie tell him i'am asking about him.

Beside the Seaside.

 

The journey might not have been very far but it was like the other end of the

world especially for the Children that never had seen the sea befor.

 

Connieb, what memories do you have at Redcar - Saltburn by the sea.

Hi sputnikboy haven't forgotten you, details have been passed on to kens daughter,but as yet we have had no response but as this may be a sensitive area for ken and we have not seen him for some years we have to rely on his daughter to provide feedback. Let's hope he contacts us

Yes Connie walking on them cliff tops was like breath taking views,

yer looked one way you saw Redcar and look other way was saltburn.

I took a trip there in the 80s and them huts had been taken down,

the field was really bare but that farm house was still there, do you

remember it in the corner that was the way in with the coaches

through them gates. Happy holidays.

Hi Connie, Some more on the holiday, do you remember them s u t coaches lined

up on Blackbrooke rd ready to take us to the coast, them old bangers of a bus they

use to rattle-when they went fast.

They were reliable coaches and some kids called them egg box's.

 

Our house mother would take a white pale bucket hence the lid on the coach just

in case someone wanted to be sick, she use to come round with barley suger

sweets to stop any sickness. yummy yummy.

Hey, dont forget them cucumber sarnies sandwiches and the beef spread we had

on the coaches with a packet of smiths crisps and the blue pkt salt inside.

I remember the bus journey from FCH to the coast very well. Each year I/we kept an eye out for a huge white horse carved into the side of a hill en route. Does anyone know which area this would have been/is and what the history of the horse might be?
