Hi,

I was born at 16 Market Lane Dunston, we moved to 74 Glebe Terrace - right across the road from Dunston Hill School. We finally moved from Dunston in 1957 but I have fond memories of Dunston - the school and the people. Love to see all the photos - I'll have a look through my own collection and see if there are any I can send you for the website!

MY family is from Dunston, we live in Canada now, since 1979 but my mother's Father was BART PYLE, he owned the fish and chip shop,
married to Mary Pyle, children, NORMA, MARGARET, DORA AND BART jnr.
My Dad and his family are also from Dunston, his  name is TOM ROBSON, his mother's name FLORENCE DIAL (florrie, or LOL to many) she married DENIS LOWERY, had two other twin sons, DENIS AND PETER (peter passed away at 14 yrs old) I wonder if anyone remembers any of these people?? my grandparents (Lowery) lived in Fowler Gardens, and then Kingsley Place until the 80's when they passed away.
I love Ken's pics of the area, I have alot of fond memories as a little girl, I remember going to the Laws/Liptons shop and the post office and bakery for a special treat with my Gran! and of course the park ! I love looking at all of the pics, I havent been in Dunston since 1987!

Sorry I know who George Pharoah is now after discussing this with another old Dunston Friend.The person I should have mentioned was Geordie Oram.

I lived at 78,Wellington Road with my Nanna Jean Parker who was a Barmaid in The Collingwood until I was 16.A great Website of really good photos.I used to play with Geordie Pharaoh,Lawrence Blance and Jimmy Mulholland( I believe he now lives in Australia).Can anyone put me in touch with Geordie Pharaoh who has a photo posted in 2008.I might up again with some old Dunston Pals about 6 years ago and still drink at The Royal,Tudor Rose and Excelsior Club most Fridays.
