Garden House, Merrington Lane, Spennymoor
« on: Saturday 22 May 10 09:06 BST (UK) »
Hello Rootschatters,

I am looking for a photo of the Garden House Inn, Merrington Lane, Spennymoor, (formerly West Australian)? I believe it was locatated near the Smart & Brown/Thorn Factory, and pulled down sometime in the '60's.

Thank you

John

Thanks Stan, I did have a look some time ago, without success, although, it looks like there are more photos this time.  I will enjoy looking again.

Thank you very much.

No luck again Stan, but did enjoy the photos, thank you.  Fingers crossed, something else turns up!

Probably too late to reply to this and cannot help with any photographs but in the 1940s I lived at Garden House, Merrington Lane, Spennymoor.  What I believe is now a trading estate was built during this time and, I think, was an ordnance factory making munitions for the war.  I was a child of almost 6 when the war started and I remember the V1 bomb dropping at Tudhoe and getting on my bike the following morning to see the damage it had done - great big hole in the middle of the cricket pitch and nearby houses with windows and roofs damaged.
