I'm beginning to think that I'm the only survivor of my generation. For instance, doesn't ANYONE remember Monica Pickering who, from a house on the left of Mill Bank (going down) in the 1940s dispensed those delicious pies-and-peas ? A few years later, when I spent a little time as a clerk in the Buying Office of Westool (as it then was) Monica had changed her name to Monica Chrissop and was in charge of Filing. Or Miss McGregor, a teacher of French at the Copeland Lane School, who ran (once a week) the West Auckland branch (mostly Ethel M. Dells and Leslie Charteris) of the Bishop Auckland Public Library in the Rechabites' Hall on the other side of Mill Bank ? Or Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, permanent residents at the Ranch ? Or Flash Elliot, who was sent off in a game in the Northern League, and later suspended, I believe for ever ? (Can anyone tell me why ?)
