Thank You

New to the Internet and looking at the Cleveland area, I came across a web site named “Slaggy Island” by Dick Fawcett, I thought it was wonderful, I visited the sight regularly and still do enjoy looking in at old South Bank. How I wished there was something similar about old Grangetown, and the streets where I grew up. When I found a link on Dicks page for cardboard city, that was the beginning of a new experience for me. I contacted John O’ Neil and immediately started to contribute to the site, and really enjoy doing so. I now visit the site regularly,it is a real trip down memory lane for me, which I enjoy immensely. Thinking about where I spent most of my married life, and where my husband, and children grew up. I have decided Humbly I may add! To emulate Dick and John and bring back old memories, this time of Coatham, and a lost treasure , Warrenby Village, and of course, Our Town! Redcar, which has always been my favourite place My gratitude goes to: Dick Fawcett for his foresight John ‘O’ Neil for a real step back in time. Alison Nicholson,Andrew Hutton & Karen Maughan of communigate for their guidance. Jim White for his extensive research. George Ayton for his meticulous transcriptions.
