Boo, what a cracking find! :D


There's all sorts of good stuff in the British Pathé Archives, just sat, sitting there ready to be found :-)
I loved her comment regarding meeting the Prince of Wales,'He's a nice canny lad and I've no need to be frightened of him."

I've really enjoyed reading this report, I can 'hear' her :-)

It took some reading even when we live not far from Cullercoats
My father in Law was a broad talker
I'm pleased I put Polly in Rootschat it was an interesting reading
Well done all of you and thank you

Hello I have just spotted this chat and would like to share a photo of Polly Donkin with my Grandfather Martin Henderson in Cullercoats. Both serious about raising money for charity. I also have a letter from her grand daughter written to my brother in 1997.
I do not know how to attach a photo at this time.
