Paddling in the Ouseburn

I was born in Ouseburn and stayed here until I was three years old. I remember my two older brothers paddling and swimming in the river. We lived beside a sort of mini-supermarket called Mary Ellen's not far from the Ship Inn. Often on Sunday's we strolled down to the Quayside market place.

My dad used to work at the Lead works. I can remember he used to tell us about his Friday night drinking trips up the river with his work mates.
