Wandsworth to Jarrow via Manchester
As seen from Bede Trading Estate, Brockley Whins, is a low hilly rise on the horizon and means hill cliff of badgers.
Streets in the western half of Brockley Whins estate have Scottish place names and those in the eastern half have Australian ones. Which avenue runs down the middle?
Brockley Whinns station is believed to be haunted by a stable boy supposedly murdered there in the early 17th century.
Nearby Boldon Colliery became 'The Pyrotechnic World Centre' when a whole street wqas set in flames by its own (youth) residents. One was heard saying, 'Am daft me, a divvint kna nowt'.
In 1984 a student living in Boldon Colliery, was found to have built up a Bomb Factory.
Arndale Centres are in Manchester, Wandsworth and Jarrow, jaded symbols of 1960's prosperity. Now Morrison's dominates Jarrow's Arndale Centre. Whilst Jarrow has disapeared as just another fragmented town, untold volumes of Jarrow History remain in the memories of Our Ancestors who lived in Jarrow when it was called 'The Town That Died'.
Many of the Older Generation in Jarrow love Morrison's because it's a One Stop Shop and they can meet their friends in Morrison's Cafe in Jarrow. The Fishmongers, Butchers and Bakers Street within Morrison's is so realistic many shoppers think they are back in 1933.
'Jarrow is Tops' for: Reactionary Irish Catholics, Car Parks, Shopping, Big Skys, A Beautiful Deadly Quiet, Wonderful Council Estates (built circa 1953), South Tynside Council (Best in UK), Probably the Best People in the World, The Best Accent (South Shields, Tyne Dock and Jarrow), Teenage Unemployment, Teenage Pregnancy, Teenage Alcoholism, saying 'A Divint Na', Haunted Brockly Whins Metro, Awful Metro Station Design and Extended Familes On The Dole.
Remedies for the above are:-
1. Direct Labour
2. Build A Workhouse
3. Drive On Container Ships Full of Food
4. De-Ghettoise Poor Areas
5. Promote blackberry picking, fishing and allotment cultivation on derelict parks and open spaces
6. Build A Bicycle Factory employing Young Engineers and Local Young Lads.
7. Create a Lido
8. Public Works
9. Build a Workhouse for Directed Old Labour
10. Promote cycling and organic nutrition, build a high speed train to London
It’s a Numbers Game though, (too many Post-Industrial Poor) and Central Government wants to stop The Regions shinning outside London.
