The Hope Road

[the dark one]

Was a haunted house when we were growing up in the 70/early 80s

I remember when the AJ scandal news broke, half the f***ing world’s media was parked up on the hope road. Massive TV trucks with satellite dishes on the lot. It was like wacky races trying to get past

Anthony Smith, the Sunderland player used to live there.

He helped an 18 year old me when my shitty Mk 2 Escort decided to break down at the bottom of the bank in 1992….took him a bottle of wine the next day to say thanks iirc.

Would still be there now if I was relying on my mechanical know how to get away.
