we get a free paper every friday durham times, history page about crossgate, there was a ghost, reported to haunt the peth. she,d stand at the bottom holding a baby, when carriages came by in the olden days she,d climb aboard then at nevilles cross shed have dissappeard.
sez she lost her husband in the battle of n cross, redhills,
how on earth anyone knew, i havent a clue.

Ive always loved durham and the history of it it fascinates me i dont know why,
this is all just my history really its summat ive always done. not just recently.
I live here and im just steeped in it..all of it.. up, down, and round a bout. i cherish it. my heritage. im lucky, to have had the memories i have..

I remember being at woollies and going out back, saddler street, after dark in winter,
looking up and seeing the castle lit up, thinking how lovely it looked and how good to feel the cold frosty air on my face after being cooped up under hot artificial lights all day.
when they said we nearly sent the posse out to look for you id pretend id lost my name badge.
bonkers really.. this is all just my history... everyone has one..
