“ I have many lovely memories of Rossi’s. The Rossi family were always very pleasant and helpful, and their ice cream was beautiful. Also lovely coffee. An ideal meeting place for the Consett people, young and old. Many a romance blossomed there.
It has been like stepping back in time for me today. ”

“ Robson's - Consett to Hexham bus stopped on request, on a busy day this could be at every other farmhouse gate. The drivers always went out of their way to ensure that these good country folk were dropped off as close to their destination as possible. Once just outside outside of Slaley a farmer boarded the bus with a ewe who needed urgent veterinary attention in Hexham much to the amusement of the passengers. ”

“ The Tea shop on the left-hand side of the photograph was modernised in 1957. It was re-branded as the 'Why Pay More' shop. In Consett it became known as the 'Why Pay at All' shop. Next door was the 'Meadow Dairy'. Although being a very small child, I recall barrels of fresh butter on the white marble counter - this was was sold in 2oz increments along with the freshest of local cheeses and in farms churns -unpasteurised milk straight from the cow which was ladled straight into jugs.

“ I recall visiting this cafe as a small child in the late 1950's the smell of fresh coffee was amazing and drifted along the street. I had to wait until I was 12 years old to taste this creamy cappuccino type beverage as coffee was not sold for the consumption children. It was worth waiting for! The ice-cream was handmade by John and Rosa Rossi, this was served in glass sundae dishes. Delicious! When 'old Mrs Rossi' died the majority of Consett's population turned out to pay their respects. ”

“ I remember that my auntie Violet's dog, Roy was an unusual colour--PINK. They lived in Constance street in Consett and Roy-originally white, kept coming home tainted with the iron ore dust from the fields. Another memory is of my Dad, Jackie Robson, meeting someone in Devon who said 'I bet you come from Consett'. When my Dad asked the man how he knew, the man said, 'Ah, the accent and the fact that the underneath of your car is coated with pink dust'. ha. ”
