South Bank was in North Riding of Yorkshire. Jen

Known locally as Slaggy Island, eh Jen?

This is a great website: http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/slaggyisland/

It was and the other local name was the one we gave to the people of Grangetown, who were all known as Gregors ( or was it Greggers?). They had a really bad name in Lazenby. Anything out of the ordinary was always blamed on the Gregors.

Don't tell me you lived in Lazenby, genjen?
Small world.
We lived in Queen Street, some 30 years ago.
We were in the detached house which had a cottage out back.
When we moved there, there were stables. We were told that the undertaker lived in the cottage, and his horses were kept in the stables.
I never found out what our house had been used for!!!!!

I grew up in Lazenby. We moved there from Middlesbrough in 1952 and I left in 1969, when I finished my seven year sentence at Cleveland Grammar School.

Went to primary school there, as did both sisters. Married in the church at Wilton and my parents are both buried there.

My mother lived there until she died earlier this year so my links with the village will be gone once her house is sold.

Small world indeed.
