I was born @ 33 Worsdell Street North Blyth in Jan 1938.  I recall Travelling to school in Blyth on the small 'rope' ferry.  Our Neighbours were Mrs Nairn and Mr and Mrs Hardy.
I remember a wood yard owned by a Mr Marshall.
There was a large railway shed nearby and I recall quite a number of armed forces in the locality. I also recall an 'Institute' building where dances were held.
Other memories include 'barrage' balloons above the rail sheds and playing along the large 'staiths' where ships loaded coal for use in southern power stations.
Does anyone else share any of these memories?
