My maternal grandparents married at St John the Baptist on January 4th 1917. They were Sidney F Johnson and Maud Robinson. It is nice to see old photos of it.
Does any one have any photos of Hume Street as it was at the turn of last century? My great grandmother and great grandfather lived there along with their brood of 11 (including my grandmother) – no 73 to be exact. As Hume Street stands now I have difficulty picturing where that would be.
Maybe Alan Callender might be able to help by telling you what number he lived at, his house was near Inkerman Street.
Barney Mole who played on the right wing for Stockton St Johns in the late 1890s played for Newcastle Utd.& Burnley. He lived in 19 Byron Street & was the grandfather of Colin & Brian Taylor.
I lived in Hume street in the late 40’s. My friend and next door neighbour Michael Hodgson and I got into trouble for swinging on the bell rope…. the bell sounding kinda gave the game away.
My mother was a regular worshipper at this church. I remember walking by it to get to the old bridge over the railway station. The new St. John the Baptist Church was opened in 1983 and housed the alter and some of the silver chalices etc. from this old St. John the Baptist Church. The new Church was built opposite the old Durham Road Children’s Hospital
