My grandfather born 9th June 1895 in South Shields, died 10th September 1963 in South Shields. After the war he became a tram driver. I believe he worked in a munitions factory during the Second World War and then became a bus conductor until his retirement. A quiet, gentle and kind man whom I wish I had known for longer.
