Stanley Crescent
A path along by the railway, now the Metro line, and these houses don't have road access. Some of the land on the left next to the railway is used for gardens and allotments, but most has been allowed to grow wild.

Rockcliffe First School, Whitley Bay
Construction of the present building began in 1910 and it was used for the first time on 1st May 1911. The official opening quickly followed on 10th May 1911. This poem was inspired by my own hazy memories of my time spent at the school:
ROCKCLIFFE REMEMBERED, PERHAPS
The constant roar of the sea,
sandstone & tide,
a freezing north wind & mist
on the high lattice work windows.
Corridors smelling of stale milk
& a class room full of
ruddy-cheeked children,
7-years old & eager to be free,
running wild in the concrete lanes.
Dampness & dust,
cast iron radiators
& the playtime scramble
in the high-walled yard.
Knees grazed,
badges of honour
in the rough & tumble,
& the temptation of
boarded-up shelters,
old war time relics.
A dinner time procession
of post-war baby-boomers,
out in the cold,
hungry for tapioca
& the three o'clock bell.
All seemed well in the world
at the end of our street.
