Hi , I have just found Roots , I was born in Fatfield in Biddick Inn Terrace , and I am doing my family history .
My Nana had the fish shop opposite the terrace , my dad was a friend of Alfred Hind who wrote the book and I would love to find a copy .
My family were the Cook's and Fletchers .
I love Fatfield and the worm hill.
Hi,was that the little fish shop against the river,i remember one stood on it,s own built more like a shack is the best way to describe it.Nonetheless,the fish and chips were  something else.It was more or less down the bottom of castle street toward the river.Every year the fair would arrive and plant itself in front of the fish shop.Last time i can remember being there cliff richard was the main man singing summer holiday.Long time ago.yours Richard spear.

Hi Steve,
Small world, i was born and brought up in the village of Fatfield, which used to be in the County of Durham. Such a beautiful little village at one time before farm land became dual carriageways etc...Fatfield is the village in the town of Washington and the county of Tyne & Wear as it is today. Before Fatfield had its own church, St Georges, bap, burials & marriages were held at St Marys Chester-le-Street also at St Johns Birtley. St George's was built towards the late 1800s, i do have the exact date but not handy at the minute..My family go back to the early 1700s in Fatfield, pitmen, farmers, and shop owners and my grandfather made the bricks that built St Georges church, a long time ago!

Regards
Sam-
