Durham / Re: Flint Mill, Urpeth.
« on: Sunday 08 May 22 08:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello, we lived at No 2 Flint Mill from 1943 until about 1950, they were 4 attached cottages with a small farm at the end, it is now part of the Beamish open air museum, there was no electricity, no running water, outside Netties, (cinder toilets) we had to collect water from a spring in the lower field which flowed in a wooden trough over the Beamish Burn into a stone trough for the cows, I walked to school at No Place, passing the Shepherd and Shepherdess pub on the way, some lovely memories, hope this helps.

Thanks Boo, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, old photo's and postcards of this part of Bishop Auckland are not easy to come by, apart from the car park! any information, photographs, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Walter

St Monicas was a home for unmarried mothers and their babies, there is a car park now where the home once stood, I was wondering if anyone might have a photo or post card of North Bondgate before the home and other buildings were demolished.

Thank you, Walter
