I was born and bred in Liverton Mines at 25, Cleveland Street. I joined Carlin How Scout Group on my own, then my best mate Mick Matthews came along with me and then it snowballed when we had about ten of us going. After a while the Carlin How Troop, could not cope, so they formed the Liverton Mines Troop. It was good fun and all boys and girls should join this organisation. They will learn a lot!
