Welcome to the Guestbook
Feel free to add messages relating to the site and the school. The only rules are: real names only, no personal attacks and no unrelated messages (inappropriate messages may be edited/withdrawn without warning).

It would be appreciated if you gave an email address, where you now live and said when you were at the school, but you don't have to.

Plase note that if you click on an email address below you will need to replace ~DOT~ with . and ~AT~ with @ in your email program. The Guestbook presents these this way to avoid email address harvesters collecting your email addresses from the page. I know it's a pain, but it's very much better than the alternative.

Hi All,
Did you hear of the error that the medal producers made for competitors in the recent Great North Run? They embossed the river Weir onto the face of the medal instead of the river Tyne!!
Indications are that the medal is more valuable as a result!
You couldn't make it up!

How sad. Marsden Inn as a Tesco!!

I'm surprised that the building doesn't have "Listed" status.

Hi Everyone,For those who used to go to the Marsden Inn had you noticed that the planners in SS have approved a proposal to convert a big chunk of the building into a Tesco Express supermarket?
I remember the pub well from the late 50's where you could buy pints of McEwens for a shilling and then catch the bus to go down town for an Anglo-Asian curry. You would have a night out and still have change from a pound!
Happy days

Eric, I reported your dilemma, re. Cauldwell/Westoe, to my expert, who also lived on Chester Gardens. " Definitely not Westoe" she replied."I used to get off the bus from work when the conductor called out "Cauldwell", mainly because staying on until the next stop, (and closer to home), Harton House Road, would cost me another ha'penny.
"Thanks Eric," she says. "The memories are lovely."

Me again.
Three unrelated (and not very important) matters.
1 My brother Alan was in 324 (Ithought it was 325) squadron. He joined hoping to become aircrew eventually but he was colourblind and so became an Education Officer.
2 Our first semi was in Chester Gardens (greatly superior to Spohr Tce. and Fir Grove).I thought we lived in Westoe but not Cauldwell. My best ma, Tommy Cooper lived in Cauldwell Villas. Has the name Cauldwell have anything to do with the nearby dyeworks pond?
3 Some of us become/ have become nonagenarians this year. Congratulations to all survivors.
