I was thinking about Robbie Robert Clarke the deceased he lived in the same street as me as kids and that was Vicarage est wingate he was a few years younger than me I was at school in the same class as his sister. I was just wondering how long it was since his death. I remember being underground in easington colliery when word came through that a young lad had died in such a tragic manner not knowing at the time who it was, found out later we were not mates but he lived just a few doors from me right through our school years.
