That was my playground as a young boy growing up i remember westburn as a village and newton as a handfull of houses. I attended st charles primary school newton and have fond memories of playing on the bings, my how it's all changed. All my history now sadly gone,all in the name of money for the developers which i find quite sad. I still have family in westburn whom i visit frequently and i can't beleive how much it's changed. It's not a village now it's a town and i don't think i like it that way.
All that land that new houses are build are not worth a penny as the grounds sinking with bad foundations give about 20 years major cracks will appear in the houses
Great footage and amazing to see how the site has changed in this time.
I only wish my grandad, who was born and worked there, could see this.
