Thatch Mires, also known as Fellside. Home to my mother's family, the Thompsons, from 1928 to 1947. Smallholding with 2 fields of 20 acres. 2 bedrooms for a family of 8. Kept a few animals but my grandfather worked in the quarries at Stanhope to support the family, catching the 6.30am train from Chapel.
