Mr. McLeavy, called into the Town Council offices before Christmas with a photograph of Aycliffe Angels he had found in his mother’s things. The photo has a note on the back – “ROT Aycliffe 1942 – 1945. Happy days and happy memories of all my fellow workmates on A. Shift.” Annie Marie McLeavy, who was originally from Hartlepool, is the lady second row in the middle with a white cardigan and a cross on her left shoulder which appears to be in a sling. Newton News has added this photo to its archive and invites readers to submit similar memorabilia. Photos will be copied and returned to the sender.
