BIOGRAPHY: I remember Granny Hebburn being dumped on our doorstep with her bags in the early 60's it would have been about 2 or 3 years before she died, she spent her last few years in a local old peoples home .
her large trunk was under our kitchen table for a while.
its a shame that no one in the family wanted to look after her.
