Guy is a year younger than me, it might have been their Paul. But it was definitely the Lawtons
I think both of those lads are no longer with us sadly.

I think Mr Hindmarch has gone to that big classroom in the sky.
Always told us he was Rob's brother but he never got us any freebie tickets despite our requests.

My mistake.
Gary was a canny lad really, we'd spend hours playing on that field behind his house. My mam still often sees Ian and Netty around and stops for a chat.

I remember a family called Barella they were the hardest in PennywellStill some black bits like Portslade where the part-time jockeys are.
The top end Hylton Road squares hacky; beside the industrial estate. Penistone and that.
A mate from a few years above at school was murdered there.

Preston was the hardest.
Wasn't that the weird bloke who always wore a neck brave and got done for molesting his daughters? Or maybe I'm getting mixed up.
Yes and the majority of people were and are fantastic.

Gary was my best mate. Slightly older than me but later in life we were always together. He was massive and had a heart attack. Drink and drugs didn’t help like.My mistake.
Still miss him terribly.

I lived in Pickering Road but spent a canny bit of time round Plazy Square as a young in as family lived there, knew most of the daft lads then, Dillons, Lawtons, Dobbs, Ellis, Comber.
I was just a young un but memories of someone shitting in newspaper, putting it on somebodies front step, setting it on fire, nocking on the door and doing a runner. Class times and everyone stuck together and had your back.
Jimmy Gas Cannister Head
not forgetting the Bulmers, class lads

Recall in the early 90s
“brick the squaddie incident”
Car twoc was massive at the time and a lot of local lads got jail for nearly killing a copper when brick was thrown through squad car window whilst police were chasing a stolen car.
I also recall a documentary made about Pennywell around 97/98,which Wasn’t the best of viewing and made the local youth look bad.

Bricking the copper was Palmerston Road at the cut, proper shit bags and that was probably the worst time I remember Pennywell.

No. Babysitter was their cousin and she died too. They're all buried together in Bishopwearmouth cemetery. Only mum and dad got out iirc.

Right,my sis seemed to think it was the babysitter who escaped,lot of time has passed since then.
Ducky Minto was who my sis thought was the babysitter,he is still alive,sadly his wife Sharon passed away a number of years ago,he was always a funny guy.
