Mrs Coates
First memory - soldier returning from Boer War. Early memories of Irish grandparents and other relations. Lady in the street made dresses for her to wear in a procession.

John and Nan Logan
Learning to read in hospital from newspapers. Trained as boilersmith but also did various jobs in hospitals. Tried to go back to boilersmithing but got in trouble with others for working too fast - as would be finished when the work complete. Became first aid attendant at Elswick Works, end up in charge of this side. Making own entertainment - watching the rowing, playing shops with boody. Food shortages in First world war, would queue up even without knowing what had come in. Kept hens, and would sieve "coarse wholemeal", give the rough stuff to them. Salt fish, baking flat breads, exchange ...

Mr Alexander
Grandparents’ origins, one killed in Seaham disaster 1880. Early memory, father coming in from pit. Discovering Christmas presents early. Drawing on the wall, got in trouble. Teachers; taught to have manners and respect – teacher “cured” cough with the cane. Mother died of TB, always a hard worker, keeping things clean – had to help, children tackled adversity. Other teachers. People expect state to do too much for them. Father lucky to never be out of work – a clerk and ratings officer. Friends poorer. Funerals – men carrying coffin in relays. The interrogation by the”relieving officer” for p...

Mr Marshall
Tees Street in Horden as a child. Starting school, didn't like it, touch of cane. Watching a funeral, children's coffins. Early school - learning to write in sand, and do boots up. Catholics in school but had to have prayers separately. Children's games, "bowly in cap", "kick the tin". Seaside, stalls and food, sitting with clothes while dad swam when little. Carnival floats with fancy dress. Athletic foot handicaps, man double crossing the bookmakers. Lost school time through illness but didn’t retake year. Two years on the screens, hated it, then token cabin – hard work, weighing coal. Went ...
