ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND - BILLINGHAM, DARLINGTON, MIDDLESBROUGH, NEWCASTLE, STOCKTON, YORK & YARM NEIGHBOURS & LOCAL HISTORY Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. They married in Yarm in 1941. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1). Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks. When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs lived in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. He also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne. So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs! Details of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974.
Onward 'Christian' soldiers marching as to war, with the profits of Wall Street, leading on before. Part I of the 'Great Conflict' was entirely avoidable and so unnecessary. Ukraine anyone?
To think this all happened over 100 years ago and it still has an affect today !Seeing these relics and in some cases trenchworks and the many cemeteries dotted around France and Belgium makes you realize what a terrible thing WW1 was . The first war using industrial methods of killing , the first use of chemical weapons and the senseless and futile frontal assaults into a hale of machine gunfire and the huge human sacrifice on both sides as the war ground on for four very long years . Only to be followed twenty year later by WW1 part two or the second world war .
Yeah. They were just loving the trench life...
All those helmets were men sad.rip
Hello Southbank, real community when I lived there at the age of 13. 49 years ago , my first love lived there, I'm assuming he still does to this day? Hello Alan bird! I lost you when I moved to Devon, but I've never forgotten you. Devon where I live is the most beautiful city, but Southbank lives in my heart and soul. My 1st love also had connections to Grange town with family also.i attended st Michaels school in South Bank, tell me does this school still exist? Are their any bird family members still living there? Pam, Angie, Paul, Stewart, Alan?I think Pam might being knowing of Reid family.also David of bird family. I hope your all well, and living a healthy life. Alan you remember my laugh???
You’ll find quite a few people going into the Area just out of interest with the Lee Duffy Documentary’s and Books. I think a lot as changed though since Lee passed away . The Area as Gone Down hill Big Style . I’m sure there are no pubs in South bank now . Or is there ????
Take with you only photos and leave only footprints
I'm one of the sons who deserted you, as per Vin Garbutt's Slaggy Island Farewell. I was born and bred in South Bank and emigrated to Canada in 1967. I'd visit periodically when my parents were alive and noted the decline. It's now far from the vibrant town that I grew up in but I still have fond memories of my childhood, when I could walk down Skipper's Lane and fish for sticklebacks in the creek near Low Lane Farm. Although I'll never return, it'll remain as the basis of my youth and happy childhood. Farewell, Slaggy Island. I wish you a fulfilling future.
The war ended, they just left everything out there and went home. Such a waste of life.
Not exactly,there was extensive clean up operations that went on into the 1920s and some of the zones now known as red zones were deemed uninhabitable and were left to be preserved to this day such as some of the battlefields in Tahure and Verdun luckily the Somme has mostly been reclaimed by the land through a century cleanup operations by farmers and the French government
Le Tommy is a great place and Dominique is a star
Do they sell any pieces
I was thinking the same, probably not.
@@leaturk11 yeah
seeing all those helmets piled up is really profound isn't it! I can't help picturing the faces that rushed off to join up.
just the thing to watch to remind me of what my ancestors have created in my homeland. Thank you
completely fantastic and atmospheric film.
