Thread Name: Byker Hill: background info anyone?
Subject: RE: Byker Hill: background info anyone?
I got to stay on Byker Hill back in '71 with a singer named Ray Tremble. He said all the "hooses doon the ra'" [on his street] were sinking because the mines went right beneath the streets and houses. I also was told it was "Walker's Hall" [not Waukesha- I moved to Newcastle from Milwaukee !!!] RR
