Those of us born and bred in Wallsend will never forget this town and what it gave us and what it made of us. We had the privilege of growing up in a busy, rough, friendly, purposeful and in places beautful community. Some of us couldn't wait to leave; others never left. But we all have Wallsend in our memories, no stronger identity could anyone wish for.

Here here Gordon. Been fortunate to travel the World but still pine for the memories I had as a child. Don't know if " everyone " feels that way but I was happy in Wallsend. Good days. Visited recently living down South that I do, and it's changed a lot, to be expected though.

Wallsend in the 1970s was the best place in the world, well at least it was to me growing up there, loved the place, home is where the heart is

100%. I grew up in holy cross and still live Wallsend but I'm honoured to have grew up here in the 90s (the best years) as unfortunately Wallsend streets are scary now x

So many happy memories playing in the burn, home made sledges down the grass on rose hill bank. Wallsend Park and the boys Club on Station Road. Used to go to St Aidens High school and it's great remenising. Day I left school remember saying to my m8 Peter Valley " see you around " but I moved away and never did ! Happy childhood though.

David Morrison. I knocked around rawden court in 1980's. When it was demolished I was 1st home owner on what became Roman court in 1996. 1st house next to carville pub. Pub demolished too and I sold house for double what I paid for it. Ah happy days of divorcing my unfaithful wife! She's an alcoholic & I've so moved on.

I'm from Teesside, But my mother always said that our relation was mayor of Wallsend. His name was Joseph Duffy and She said there was a statue to him. I checked it out and there is indeed a memorial fountain dedicated to him.

I worked on the construction of the replacement fountain in the park between the bowling greens..I did the earthworks and lifting and assembling of the pink granite pieces that it is constructed from using an excavator. Guess where all the pieces were made ? Why yes, you are absolutely correct..shipped all the way from China... What a state the UK has now become !

I can remember Gordon Square, it was like flats you'd see in Harlem. I remember them being boarded up in 1978 and looking really sinister. My cousin used to run through them at night for a dare.

@@VintageBoxingTM Thanks Matt. I'm a Southerner but my Dads family were born and bred Wallsenders, he had six brothers and four sisters but it was all such a long time ago that all traces have gone I'm afraid.
