Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 1970

The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders were here in 1970.

I used to live at 15, Stainton Grove with my parents, 2 brothers and 2 of my 3 sisters. My eldest sister lived in Plymouth.

I remember Mr & Mrs Thompson lived nearby and Sgt. Smith (?) lived at 153, Stainton Grove.

I went to the RC school in Darlington and some of us used to play in the old barn with the girls.

Our heritage is who we are today; we are the only ones who can protect it.

The Memories of Stainton Grove Military Camp Project was one of a number of community-led projects along and nearby the route of the proposed South West Durham Heritage Corridor.

The South West Durham Heritage Corridor will be a multi-user route along the former Bishop Auckland to Barnard Castle railway line.
