Walker heritage, from Burradon. Explains alot, that, Alex

" How man, the bairns are sleeping, turn that fucking horse down!" When did they live there Alex? Have you any idea when it changed from being run by the Dwellings Co. Pal of mine lived there in the late 80s when she was at Uni. It's an amazing little patch of concentrated history there mind, The Keelmans Hospital beside it dates back to the 1700s ( went to several parties there post-Barley Mow in my youth), and Sallyport Tower has a very varied history, the lower part of it is supposedly Roman. It's also believed that the Roman Wall runs beneath The Dwellings.

Right back apparently. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapou_Yanga-Mbiwa

I look like Neil Oliver ? The Dwellings at Garth Heads were built in 1869 and extended in 1878 by The Newcastle Upon Tyne Improved Industrial Dwelling Co.Ltd. so if your family lived there for 4 generations going back from the 1940s, it would probably have been your great x2 grandparents who moved there. They were built to house the workers from various nearby industries and business, and were seen at the time as examples of benevolence from owners to workers. In reality, although the workers benefitted from improved accommodation, they were in effect tied workers- they would lose their home if they left their job, and were easily monitored by their employers re. sickness and absenteeism. I'm guessing that at some point in the early 20thC they were taken over by the council, but I'm not sure when exactly.

Hello fat cabby

Deaders setting a reminder on his TV for 8.30am tomorrow for a furious fap-fest.

No idea what you mean Wordy, explain?

13 pints? Lightweight.

Me dads side probably will have done too. They lived in the Dwellings just on City Road, down from Pandon Bank, up till about 1940 for about three or four generations apparently. Is that Garth Heads Student flats? Just checked back on the census and I was mistaken- my ancestors lived in Trafalgar St. on the 1861 census, in 1851 they're listed as living on New Road , All Saints. New Road was the old name for City Road, so you never know, they may have been neighbours. Do you know the name of your dads ancestors? I'll see if I can find them on the census.

Awaits hoying oot time for this thread to go pyramid.

Lardy Wop?
