A DARLINGTON couple are celebrating their golden wedding anniversary today.
Violet and Jim Hart, of Brighton Road, were married at St John's Church after meeting a year and a half earlier while both were living in Brighton Road.
Mrs Hart, 74, worked at Pease's Mill, and Mr Hart, 77, worked as a shunter on the railways until he retired. The couple have a son and a daughter, five grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
Mrs Hart said: "We have had a good marriage. It is all about give and take. You get out of married life what you put in to it."
The couple plan to celebrate their anniversary with a family party.
