VE Day May 1945: A table of partying children in Barnard Street Thornaby on Tees celebrate the end of the war, who were they and what happened to them? 38 minute version
I'm a Thornaby lass from Lansdowne Rd now living in Derbyshire. Both parents were Thornaby through and through. One was 2A Diamond Rd the other from 146 Redcar Rd. Both now gone but never forgotten. A part of Thornaby will always be with me in my heart ❤️
I do not mind admitting I cried my eyes out watching this. My Dad Eddie spent the first 18 years of his life living at 31 James St. He married Valerie Stirling , daughter of John & Hilda. Also the older sister of Marion. I think they lived on George St. Please let me know if anyone remembers them. Thanks.
I was born in 1946, just after this. We lived at the Erimus until those houses were demolished round about1958 and we, and many of the residents went to live at The Littleboy new estate, while the rest went to live up at the Thornaby Road new estate. We were all given the choice. Those new houses were really posh as they all had indoor bathrooms and toilets, not to mention, front and back gardens . To complete our luxury and poshness, we had ELECTRICITY!
Hello Lorna my grandparents lived at 5 Mead Crescent. I am researching the Erimus and have a section on it in my book Thornaby Lives . Have you kept any photos of the family when you lived there?

Thanks I'm glad the film stirred some thoughts. I remember an Ian Rennick at school whose family ran the fish shop -
Sorry it was Ian Meddick - sadly passed recently , maybe related. A very nice guy.
@@gascoyneone it was in the late 50s early 60s they had the shop near the five lamps. Rennicks my married name .
