Whickham Sunday School Annual Trip 1920
We all assembled on the Church Green at 9:30 a.m. with tally identity label and tea ticket slung around our necks on a piece of string. We then walked to Swalwell railway station to board a steam train for the direct route to Whitley Bay.
The teachers led games on the beach. At an arranged time we collected at a church hall where we received a "tea bag". All the bags included a rock bun.
After an enjoyable and strenuous day we returned home. Arriving back at Swalwell Station tired and weary but grateful for our annual treat, we faced the task of walking up Whickham Bank.
