Westmorland

[FAMILY, AGES]

Maria: We’re a big family. We have Evelyn, Betty [Elizabeth], Wendy, Heather and myself here. Heather is my niece and Betty’s daughter. But there’s also Billy [William], Jean, Lynn and Gail. There were 8 of us. Our parents were called William and Evelyn, pronounced Eve-eh-Lynn.

Wendy: They were the best parents.

Betty: Our oldest sibling, Billy (Westmorland), was born in Hexham (1955), and I (Elizabeth Scarr) was born in Easington Colliery (1956). Our sister Jean (Raine) was born at Thorpe Road in Easington (1958), and Wendy (Bailey) was born at Basingstoke Road in Peterlee (1961). Lynn (Hall) was born down Canada in Easington (1964). Then we moved to Nottingham, where our Gail (Westmorland) (1966) and Evelyn (Clark) were born (1968).

Evelyn: We came back to Peterlee in 1969. It was Wendy’s 8th birthday, and I was just going to turn a year old. And we’ve never left since. Maria (Westmorland) is the youngest and was born a year after (1970).

Betty: Heather (Scarr), my daughter, was born at Little Thorpe Maternity Hospital (1977).

Maria: Evelyn and I are the youngest two, so we have memories that the others don’t have, and they have memories that we don’t have. I’ll say…‘When did that happen? I can’t remember that?” And then our Heather, who is seven years younger than me, has different memories that I’m sure we don’t have. Billy, Betty and Jean were all born outside of Peterlee. Jean was born in Easington Colliery with our nana. So, the first one born in Peterlee was Wendy, down Basingstoke Road, in 1961.

Wendy: There’s a three-year age difference between Lynn and me. She was born in Easington. When Maria was 10, I was 20. So there’s a big difference between our ages. We moved back to Peterlee on August 5, 1969, the day after my 8th birthday, so Lynn would have been around 6. My mam had a little tea party for us to say…‘That’s the end of your friends because you’re going away tomorrow.’

 

[THAMES ROAD]

Wendy: We moved into the three-story houses on Thames Road in 1969. I asked if we could have the house with the glass door because there was a sitting room upstairs. I thought it was someone else’s house, and another house was upstairs. There was a big swimming pool outside our house but it was filled in the very early 1970s.

Maria: Initially, they just put mud and plants in the pool and then a fence around them. There used to be roses, and we used to get the rose petals, put them in our jam jars and make perfume out of them. We used to shake it up and leave it for ages until it made a thicker consistency. That was a perfume. That’s what you used to do.

Wendy: I was filled in not long after we moved there, so it couldn’t have been open that long. Maybe a couple of years ago. It was probably health and safety because Bairns used to hop in and get hurt. It was made of concrete, and the wall, when you stood on it, was about 4 feet. It wasn’t a proper swimming pool but filled with water, and bairns used to jump in. They used to get scratched coming out.

Maria: Our backfield at Thames Road had white fences that went all around, basically our garden. Next to our house was a row of houses; next to it was a row of 6 bungalows and then a row of 6 three-story houses. It’s not even a big field now. It felt huge at the time. When we were kids, we played British Bulldog, and it felt like days to try and get back to your base. It was a part of Castle Eden Dene. We lived in the Dene; we were never out of it. There’s a photo of me, my friend, and my next-door neighbour, Susan, doing a wheelbarrow race. She lived in No.5. We were never inside; we used to do everything.

Wendy: The bins were out the front door. The men used to come and collect the bins full of ash and rubbish on their shoulders and carry them up the front. I loved where we lived.

Maria: We had a coal bunker, and so did our Betty. The house is still there; it was number 81 Avon. So, the coalmen used to dump all the coal in the bunker. There was a shute where they got the coal. Heather’s two daughters were looking at photos of it, and Gracie said…‘What’s that? Is that where you kept the rabbits?’ When I said no, she didn’t understand. I told her that’s where you got the coal delivered because you had coal fires in the olden days. She was like…‘What?!’

Wendy: The Cantilever houses aren’t there anymore on Southway or Thames Road.

Maria: We used to play outside at all hours; we were never in the house. I still remember playing paper chase. It was called Cannon. We used to play skips. Outside our home, we had drains and used to play with marbles.

Wendy: Our fingers were scruffy playing marbles.

Evelyn: I remember when we used to play rounders, and the ball went through our back window, and someone shouted…‘Window and Out.’ We used a proper football. It hit the window, and it smashed and everyone scattered.

Maria: Everyone was just friends. Someone hit the ball with their fist, and if you hit the window, you were out. We used to go all over the street, didn’t we?

Betty: When I was a kid, I didn’t play outside. When I came to Peterlee, I left school and went to work.

Evelyn: Oh, here’s the violins!

Betty: No, but when you were 15, you went to work, didn’t you?

Wendy: Well, in Peterlee, I played knocky nine doors.

Evelyn: We used to get the elastic bands and put them on the poles.

Wendy: And used to play British Bulldog. I had a good childhood.

Maria: In the ‘70s, our houses were getting renovated, and they were putting in new windows. We had to move out and went to another three-story house, about half a mile from where we lived at Helford Road. They were the same houses as ours but on a different road. But that must have been 1977 because we had the Queen’s Jubilee party, the 25th Anniversary, in that street where all the tables were out.

Wendy: I still have the coin and the cup. Didn’t we get it from school?

Maria: And I got a badge.

Betty: Everybody celebrated then, out in the street. We celebrated all sorts of things when we were younger.

Wendy: We had all the parties for the Queen in Betty’s garden.

Maria: I can remember when Charles and Diana got married in 1981.

Evelyn: William is the same age as Jill, Lynn’s daughter. They were both born in June. Back then, nothing happened, so whenever something did happen, it was a big celebration.

Betty: There were banners and everything. I mean, we clapped for Heather in the street during the pandemic. Our sisters were separated, but we all clapped for Heather, who was going to work.

Evelyn: Our Lynn was in London; we were all spread out but clapping.

Betty: And Lynn was on the phone then, so we could all clap for Heather, who was going to work. And nobody else in the street came out. I would have been nosy, my head over the fence like the noise.

Wendy: A few of my neighbours came outside.

Maria: The three-story houses were at the bottom of the hill. It was called the Big Hill. We used to go up there. We didn’t have sledges, but our ex-brother-in-law used to work at a shop and used to bring up plastic bread baskets. We used to slide down on that and sheets.

Wendy: We used to go straight across the paths, through the gates to the houses, didn’t we?

Betty: I don’t think many people in Peterlee our age wouldn’t remember the hill because loads of people went down the hill in the snow.

[SCHOOLS]

Maria: I remember with the Infants School at Shotton Hall. It used to be separate from the Juniors and the Comprehensive; we used to have a birthday tree. And it was brilliant. You used to go to Assembly, and then if it was your birthday, you’d get called out to the front of the hall. They used to sing Happy Birthday to you; it was just a little old-fashioned Christmas tree, but you used to pick a present from it. They don’t do that now, do they?

Evelyn: They don’t now. They’ve stopped doing that.

Betty: It was something so special.

Wendy: It was the fact that you were the centre of attention. I used to get it in July before we broke up because my birthday is in August. We all went to Easington Colliery school, at the two schools on the front street, the girls and boys one, before we moved to Nottingham. In 1969, when we moved back to Peterlee, we all went to Shotton Hall School.

Maria: So, Evelyn, Gail, and I were the only ones that went through all of Shotton Hall, from the Infants and Juniors to the Comprehensive.

Betty: Yes, so my first school would have been Easington, but then I went to a Welsh school and learned to speak Welsh. Then I went to Nottingham. And then when we returned to Peterlee, I went to Shotton Hall for the last six months because you left when you were 15.

Evelyn: And both my children have gone through Shotton Hall.

[CHURCH]

Betty: I got married in 1975 at St Cuthbert’s Church. And I had the reception at Peterlee Labour Club.

Wendy: St Cuthbert’s Church was where we were married or christened; everything has revolved around it.

Evelyn: Maria was 8 months old, and I was three years old, and we were christened there.

Maria: We’ve got a photograph with Reverend Woodhouse.

Wendy: I was the first christened in St Cuthbert’s Church mind. I was born in Peterlee, but there’s no photographic evidence because we didn’t have photos then! But yes, St Cuthbert’s Church is very important to us.

 

[ANECOTES]

Wendy: Peterlee was lovely when we first came up; it was quite posh and clean. No park, but Apollo Pavilion was just starting to be built. Where I live now on Oakerside Drive was just being built, and we used to play on the building site. Grampian Drive wasn’t there when we were little. In the town centre, the police station was over where ASDA is now. There used to be a big pond outside of it.

Maria: I thought that was a fountain, and the pond was outside Presto, the bottom near Doggarts?

Wendy: No, it was a big pond outside the police station. They had the pond where Argos and everything is now. Boots used to be Presto. And upstairs, you had Doggarts going up and down the escalators. Upstairs used to go all the way around. I’ve still got a dress I bought for my daughter, Sammy, from Alan Brothers, which was at the top of the stairs. I remember walking around the town centre with mam wondering…‘What will it be? What’s that new building?’ It was Fine Fare. Patrick Mower from Emmerdale opened it. The town was lovely and clean, and they used to have toilets downstairs. There was a little kiosk with a tunnel underneath and a Lipton’s Tea Shop.

Evelyn: And a hairdresser upstairs.

Maria: Yes, there was a pool outside Argos, as Wendy said, because there used to be an escalator going up. So that road was where the hairdresser was. But then they had a balcony and an escalator above it. It was a brand-new town in the ‘50s.

Evelyn: There was that freezer shop in the town centre, Farm Foods. There used to be a two-story car park.

Maria: There was something like Phillips, but it was just initials. They had the office when you first went into the car park. Phillips was over at Eden Hill. It was like the initials of the taxi company. Something like ‘H,’ ‘M’ – I can’t remember.

Betty: And then across the road, there was the big Woolworths.

Wendy: You could drive down that street when we moved back to Peterlee. Our mam used to get a bus outside Woolworths to go to Easington. When we first moved to Thames Road, Oakerside and Sunny Blunts must have just been built because my house on Oakerside Drive was only built in 1969. I don’t think the cricket club would have been built in 1969 near Apollo Pavilion. Most of it, where Oakerside Drive is now, was just fields.

Betty: I can’t remember the cricket club being there as a bairn.

Maria: It was there when Evelyn and I were kids, so it was there in the 70s.

Betty: The Catholic Church and the Catholic School were there because it always used to be St Bede’s versus Shotton Hall when we were younger. I only had a year at the school, and even I knew that. So, that was built then in the 70s. And then, of course, North Blunt’s school was built because that’s where Heather went. Then, she went to Shotton Hall Comprehensive. North Blunts is knocked down now. The Norseman wasn’t built.

Maria: Obviously, you’re all older than me, but The Norseman has always been in my memory. It had the waterfall out the back.

Betty: I can remember The Norseman. It wasn’t a hotel; it was only a pub, and the hotel came later.

Wendy: At North Blunts School, you used to go down the steps where the big waterfalls used to be, and there was a big pond. There’s a photo of it on Peterlee Have Your Say on Facebook.

Heather: In one of the groups on Facebook, there was an old school photo with my Dad in it. He was maybe six years old, and I can tell it’s him. People have amazing memories because they have named every child in it. And I thought…‘Oh my god, that’s my dad.’

Evelyn: When Maria and I were only 8 and 10, we went down the embankment and then ran up the bank to Peterlee Swimming Baths. I can’t remember the Leisure Centre not being there.

Wendy: I used to swim at Acre Rigg when I was 8 or 9, so the Leisure Centre wasn’t there then.

Maria: Prince Charles came in 1970 to open the Peterlee Swimming Baths. We learnt to swim with my mam at Peterlee Leisure Centre. It’s probably the last year of Juniors when you’d get your 25m or 50m badges.

Evelyn: I can remember the diving board in the deep end because Maria pushed me in.

Maria: I did because you were scared.

Betty: People would say…‘Oh, do you live in the new town of Peterlee?’ And now look at it. You had the Post Office where the bookies were – now Ales ‘N’ Tales. There used to be a news shop where I used to work. We had loads of shops. Where Wilkinson’s and all those shops are, none were there then; it was just a field. The fire station was in the town centre, and there was no big roundabout at the top. It was just country roads coming into Peterlee from Shotton. The factories came later on. Tudor Crisps was there because mam worked the night shift at Tudors, packing boxes.

Maria: I must have been around 2 or 3 when my mam went to work at the Catholic School because I remember crying at the front door – not for her but because my sisters were leaving to go to school, and I couldn’t go.

Evelyn: Betty used to take me to get the bus at the top of Avon Road, and she used to drop us off at Shotton Hall and watch as we went through the gate.

Betty: Afterwards, I’d go down to Easington Colliery for work.

Maria: I never got the bus. But I remember we used to go through the Dene and up to the baths.

Betty: The Dene was looked after then; it was beautiful.

Maria: When we and Evelyn were little, it wasn’t nice because we used to go through the bushes. You’d go across the bridge, down the Dene. There was a proper bridge, a proper footpath and everything. Then, the kids made a path towards the back of the leisure centre rather than having to walk through the whole thing. We used to walk behind where the courts and Peterlee station are now. You were going past someone’s farm fields, but there was a big pond. It had loads of frogs and newts. We weren’t supposed to go there, but we did. Mam said we weren’t allowed to, but we did.

Evelyn: When we were bairns, we’d go down the back of there because there was a pond, and we used to go fishing. Not being funny, we were children of our age. At the time, you used to get an old crisp packet and put a stick on the end. Sorry, but it’s reality. That’s how we fished. We couldn’t afford proper fishing nets. But to us, the pond was massive. We always went in a group of kids and lived down the Dene. It was either Castle Eden, which we used to go down to, or the old Dwarfs Cottage, which we used to call the old Dwarfs Cottage because it was a tiny cottage right where the Church is. We were thinking of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Betty: Because of how it was built, the house was levelled on the road, and the front window was level. But when you got inside, it was all bigger.

Maria: It was tiny, wasn’t it? There was another one inside the Dene. We used to come out of the baths and leave our costumes under our dresses. Then we used to walk across the road to the town centre. Because we had our costumes on, we used to go back into the pond – outside of Presto.

Wendy: This was when everyone was in the town centre. It’s a ghost town now to what it was when I worked in Peterlee. I worked at one of these big toy stores.

Evelyn: You worked there, and our Jean worked down at the bottom newsagents.

Wendy: The toy shop was upstairs, so you used to have to walk inside and up the stairs.

Betty: And all the cards. Jean and her sister, Margaret, ran upstairs – the toy shop. That was a long time ago.

Wendy: McAuliffe hairdresser’s shop was next door, and I used to go there.

Evelyn: It’s where I got a ponytail. When I got all my hair cut short. I won’t even mention what my parents told me.

Maria: Oh, I remember that. There was a name for that haircut. McAuliffe’s was the first hairdresser I went to and got my hair styled.

Wendy: We used to walk down the Dene to Crimdon Beach.

Maria: My father-in-law, Fred, is a Castle Eden Golf Club member. He lived in Peterlee for 61 years and lived here when Graham, my partner, was born. When we were kids, we used to take our costumes, a towel, a bottle of water, and some jam sandwiches, and a big group of us walked through the Dene. If we didn’t go one way towards Horden and the beach, we’d go the other way through Castle Eden. We used to jump over the fence, and the sprinklers would come on for the golf course. We used to run in the sprinklers. I always wanted to live in that castle as a kid. I loved it.

Evelyn: You can for £1 Million.

Betty: We were always excited to get our photo films developed, but sometimes, we had to save up the money to pay for them. We used to get this packet of photographs from Boots. There was Blockbusters, the shop where you used to rent videos. That came to Peterlee just as video recorders started coming into people’s houses.

Maria: You used to go down and rent them on a Saturday night.

Heather: I told my kids about this and said it was the highlight. You’d go in, look around, and you could choose a video.

Evelyn: If I told my boys we were going to go down, rent a video, and we might get some popcorn, they thought that was brilliant.

Maria: There used to be a picture house down Horden. It has Elvis Presley on a Saturday afternoon. Evelyn’s best friend, Anne, moved to Horden from Peterlee, and we used to go to the pictures with her. There’s a small row of shops where the cake shop is now. There used to be a VHS shop there because they also did Betamax for a very short period. TA (Territorial Army) is still down there, as well.

Wendy: We used to have some fantastic carnivals. Peterlee Carnivals used to stand out with jazz bands and floats. I was in a jazz band. I didn’t join Peterlee Emeralds; I was at Horden Blue Stars. We travelled all over the place with Horden Blue Stars.

Evelyn: Every year, you knew you were going back to school once the shows were here because the Carnival happened in September.

Maria: Fisher-Price and Tudor Crisps used to come by the floats.

Wendy: I loved the Peterlee shows every year when they came, especially the fireworks displays.

Maria: We used to have loads of stuff at the Carnival, didn’t we? Motorbikes used to come, and we used to have dog shows.

Evelyn: All the tents used to be up, as well as all the vegetable competitions.

Heather: I loved the tents.

Betty: Last year, the celebration of 75 years of Peterlee, there was no celebration!

Maria: The Queen came in 1960.

Wendy: And I remember Princess Diana coming because my baby, our Martin, was in my arms, and she waved at me. He was only a few months old. Our Jean and I stood up the hill by the swimming baths, and she’d been down where Doggarts was. We waited, and she came round the corner.

Betty: Our Gail saw the Queen up close because she got picked out of school to go to Durham.

Wendy: A long time ago, I met Princess Anne at school with disabled children and horses.

Maria: I met David Wilke, the swimmer, at the leisure centre. I had a photograph with him as we were doing a charity swim. It would have been in the ‘70s.

Heather: A guy came around with the van. It was a little shop on wheels.

Betty: Oh, he was called George McManus, and he used to sell groceries.

Maria: I remember seeing Cinderella at Sunderland Empire when I was in the Infants School. I got 50p off my mam, and we went to him to spend it all on sweets. Once, Evelyn and I were playing at the top of Thames Road, and this car went past and stopped. This lady said to me…‘Come here little girl.’ And we were thinking…’What does she want?’ We were only about 6 or 7. I was all dressed up, and I had a pink cardigan on. Their baby had just been christened, and they gave us this bag. It had 50p in and a piece of cake. I think it was because I was the first girl they saw in pink after their boy had been christened. An ice cream van came up the street, and for 50p, I got Evelyn and me a 99 ice cream. They were 25p each.

Wendy: My school dinner was 12p.

Evelyn: You couldn’t even get a bar of chocolate for 12p now.

Maria: We used to get 10p and a bag of crisps and sweets like blackjack and sherbet.

Evelyn: Rhubarb and custard sweets, peardrops. I used to love blackjacks.

Maria: We used to take our dad’s brown ale bottles back to the Hearts of Oak, and they used to give us money. Not loads, but we were straight to the shop, didn’t we?

Evelyn: That was recycling back in our day.

Maria: Two ladies worked at the shop. We were taught to say please and thank you, but if we didn’t, one would tell us, even if it was on the tip of our tongues. You had to be polite and wouldn’t dream of saying anything back.

Evelyn: You wouldn’t have dared because they’d just tell you off in the street then.

Betty: It wasn’t that you wouldn’t dare; it was the idea that you had to respect older people.

Wendy: Our Lynn and I got chopper bikes. I was about 13 when I first got my chopper. And our Billy had a big bike because I used to stand on the step and ride along the step because I couldn’t reach the pedals. I was just pushing along on one pedal. I said…‘One day, I’ll get a bike,’ and when I was 13, I got one. I came down Thames Road and went straight into a brick wall. I’ve got scars, and the bar went through my eye. We had a purple one and a yellow one.

Maria: Nobody had bikes when we were kids, but we had these choppers. They had a long seat, and then it had a bar. It had a little gear with an automatic gear stick, handlebars, and a rack on the back. We used to play taxis. One person was pedalling; there was someone on the back, someone on then handlebars, and someone on the front. How we didn’t all get killed, I don’t know because we used to fly down Thames Road.

Evelyn: Steven Wright’s bike; I used to ride that when I didn’t have a bike, and Anne [Evelyn’s childhood friend] had hers. The only way to get off was to fall onto a grass bed. We had brilliant times.

Maria: I was in the rounders teams, and we used to sew our badges onto our PE skirts. Our Evelyn went to London with the school, so I would have only been about 11 or 12 then. I remember she brought us back a basket bag made of bamboo with beads on it. It had a big ruler and some other stuff in it. I remember carrying it to the big youth club at Howletch Lane.

Evelyn: Oh, I loved that. I bought something for Andrew, Heather, and Jill, which I can’t remember. But I can remember the teddy bear I bought for Gavin [Jean’s son] and Martin [Wendy’s son]: a blue elephant on a string.

Wendy: I’ve still got it.

Evelyn: Have you?! And I made a ragdoll for our Sammy [Wendy’s daughter]. I didn’t even know she was having a girl, but I made a ragdoll called Emma.

Wendy: She’s still got it, with all the teddy bears under the bed. But she’ll never go anywhere without our Emma. It’s been abroad, that doll.

Maria: Gavin was born in September ‘83, so it must have been late ‘83 when Evelyn went.

Evelyn: It was my first experience going to the theatre apart from Christmas shows. It was ‘Run ForYour Wife.’ Terry Scott and June Whitfield played in it. And the man from ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.’

Maria: Is it Don Estelle? He had a beautiful voice.

Evelyn: And I loved musicals from then on. I got into the theatre at 11, maybe a bit older than that.

Wendy: We had a good old time.

Evelyn: We did. And going back, none of us anywhere had anything, but I wouldn’t have changed my childhood. We were all in the same boat. It wasn’t class-related.

Betty: But Peterlee was a lovely place then.

Evelyn: It’s only really our Lynn who has moved away from the area. We’ve all pretty much stayed.

Betty: We’re all very close. We used to play outside, and at 15, we went to work. Then we turned to go out by ourselves.

Evelyn: I think everybody was indoors til about 9 a.m. on a Saturday because we always used to watch Swatch Shop. And Batman and Robin. Our dad liked wrestling; it was the only sport we could watch. There used to be proper boxing, but I can’t remember watching it. We used to shout when Giant Haystacks, the wrestler, came on in the afternoon. They’re lovely memories. I can remember when Betty and Jean used to get ready. I used to sit on the bins, and we would hear their music. I used to love hearing ‘Brown Girl in the Ring,’ I knew you were getting ready to go out.

Betty: Once a week, Top of the Pops was on, and we used to go to the sitting room. Jean and I mainly stood and danced to all the music that came on.

Maria: We got a stereo system – me, Evelyn, and our Gail, one Christmas between us. It had a double cassette player, and it was the bee’s knees. When you used to tape record, you’d press the button to record and play at the same time to tape the song. You’d have to press the stop and pause button before the DJ started talking.

Heather: He always starts talking before the song ends. I used to tape him every Sunday, and he would always start talking.

Evelyn: The first 45 I bought was Eddy Grant’s ‘I Don’t Want to Dance.’

Maria: My first single was George Michael’s ‘Careless Whisper.’

Evelyn: I remember getting Paul McCartney; he was in that Frog Song – ‘We All Stand Together.’ Margaret from next door begged to buy it from us for Tony. That was the second one I bought.

Betty: The first one for me was Tom Jones. It was a cassette, and my partner, Peter, bought it for my birthday. I played it and played it. I was mad because the reel was around the table, and I couldn’t re-wind it and get it straight again.

Maria: Every Halloween, we used to go around with a turnip because we didn’t have pumpkins. No one had pumpkins, but the turnip used to take forever to scrape out.

Betty: I couldn’t stand it.

Maria: Oh, I loved it, even now. Scoop it out, and you used to put two little holes on the top. It was a strain; you’d burn your hands every time on the candle, and the top always burned. Everybody used to knock on the door, and you’d be like…‘Penny for Halloween’ and stuff like that. We used to build a Guy and a couple of my mam’s old tights and stuff them with newspaper. You’d put clothes on it, too.

Wendy: When I was a bairn, my sister had me in a wheelbarrow when I was dressed like a scarecrow, and this lad was like…‘That’s not a real scarecrow,’ and he hit me with a hammer.
