My dad grew up on the Erimus, on Pioneer Street. It was a kind of ‘no mans’ land’ between Thornaby and Middlesbrough; neither council admitted to owning it…..
My dad, Ron Thompson, passed away on 22 March 2016. 3 days ago. He was Erimus born and very proud to have been.
He was Thornaby through and through.
I miss him and wish him well on his journey to the Summerlands.
