Just wondering did they say why the power/lights couldn't be switched on while you looked around? @middlesbroughmike1027

I remember seeing these as a Kid. I remember Santa's Grotto. I miss when things had Heart and Soul.

Thank you for your efforts to preserve the past.

Great video, Thanks

I totally.forgot that it was Halfords

Good memories

Once again class video , can you not get access to old binns unit 🤞🏻

Thanks Mike 👍

At one point there were two Newboulds shops in the Cleveland Centre. There was Newboulds Delicatessen next to Supernatural a long gone favourite café of ours. The butchers was originally Munro before they were taken over and rebranded at Newboulds. Additionally there was another shop on Linthorpe Road opposite Marks & Spencer and if I'm not mistaken another shop way down the other end of Linthorpe Road.

Great video layout of that shop was the same as dovecot sale rooms now dovecot bar :)

Great video, brought back many memories. I went to Oaklands senior school for 2yrs whilst they were making room for us at Stainsby which then became Acklam Grange in my 3rd yr. I also worked more the council mid 90's and my area was Area 5 Whinney Banks, town, Over The Border and Boyds Estate. Lots of memories of cleaning gutters, replacing fallpipes, always seemed to Eckert Avenue and Springfield Road. Its been a long time since I was there and I don't think there is much left of the bottom end of the estate.

God, I remember this place from when I was a kid. Crazy to think it's still there.

Great bit of film. I can only vaguely remember it from my student days in the Boro but it's good to see that it's now occupied by such a well-stocked and fascinating shop. You're right to thank them for humouring you but I suspect that a lot of the reason for them being so helpful is due to you being a good bloke doing such positive work. Merry Christmas, MM.

Nice one

thank you for the memories keep up the good work

Lovely video

Thanks for sharing! And your effort you put into the videos love the old Cleveland centre Xmas display brings back all the memories as a child 🌲⛄❄️🎄🎁🤶🏻

I used to take my two to the displays they absolutely loved it , thanks Mike 👍

Marvellous. Surprised how well I remember some of those ads. Mind you, there's a limit to how many times you can hear "it's worth looking into".

The best of memories there, when Middlesbrough was one of my favourite places to visit ❤❤❤❤

Airo was a fruit shop and shaff barbers was shipmans and the chinese was a butchers

Sorry it was the coronation not camebridge

Motorola was pybus. Then going to the right that was o rowells I was born there the next one was w creator butcher my God parents. Going over the cobbles was Lewis dairy with scoby smith caravans. My nana lived on wetherhead avenue. And I went to Whitney banks school with Margaret and Geraldine lancaster who's parents worked there before taking it on. My parents worked and lived above rowells..his brother wilf 9:43 I think had a similar shop next to the camebridge pub.happy days we moved when I was in second year seniors

And I can remember the toilets on weather head ave

Weather head Ave used to go straight on to Acklam road ,before they cut it off for some reason

The mayor was Middlesbrough mayor Michael J Carr.

I was born at 2 Mattison avenue my granddads house. He was called Albert Poole. Always in the Roseberry pub. Now live in Oldham so don't know If they have gone.

Hi!Mike ,did you sell all your dunlop shoes? If yes?can I pay one particular model sz.EUR 41.I'm a dunlop shoes user.

Never doubt at any age your not gonna look the dogs rockin those my man.

The school was St Francis Primary School. My Grandad lived on Derby on the corner 46 I think. My Nanna lived next door to the caretakers house of whinney banks on Fakenham, she lived on whinney banks road for a bit while the houses got refurbished. Sounds like you were Downside Road way, that's the road i grew up on - and I'm old as well because I remember the garages actually having garages on them haha. That alleyway from Greenlands where it stopped, is the one that led on to Bruce ave which is now blocked off. Class memories as a kid playing in the area!

back in 1974 i worked for a company called HC troldahl .they were based on Bridge st west just under the tunnel near the station .I was there one day fitting catering equipment with an engineer [i was only an apprentice back then ] there were lots of guys there doing various jobs .The state of the art sound system [for 1974 ] had just been installed and the guys were about tp test it .The very first record ever played was Loves theme by Barry white .When it came on we all stopped to listen .The sound was fantastic .i had never heard anything like it .Everyone just stood and looked at each other and when the record finished we all clapped

On our dinner break from Oakland School we used to pop over to the bakers (now hot roast) and go halves on an uncut loaf that the baker then cut in half for me and a mate, then we used to go along to the chippy (now primo’s) and ask them to fill each half of our loafs full of chips! Great memories Mike!

I think the Cabbage Club was Acklam Garden City if I remember rightly 👍

Thanks for creating this video Mike, I too grew up in Whinney Banks on Hairehills Road opposite the pig alleys.

I lived in the children's (girls) home at 40 whinney banks road in 1983. I was there for about 5 months before going to live with nanna on Oxford Road. I was just talking about it yesterday, it wasn't a rough home at all, we were all pretty well behaved and had lovely staff. It was a safe place for girls who had come from not safe places

My mam & Nana lived on derby avenue (sandra & Minnie) I’m sure they used to be a park on the field after it

Hi. I remember your nanna and grandad. Your grandad always used fo fix my bike when it broke. I lived over the road next door to Maggie and Mrs Andrews (dot) was friends with my mam Mrs Mcmenamin

Wow that’s great so many memories ❤

I used to go to Whitney banks infant,junior and Oakland's school before acklam grange

The green area was the banana xx

Thanks Mike enjoyed that trip down memory Lane although without your lovely Boro accent and some of the original houses and street names I could have been on any new estate in the UK! 50 plus years I was walking from my house opp the original community centre ( Springvale Terrace) up East Row to pick up Sandra Peacock from 14 East Crescent who sadly won’t be in anymore as her house has gone 🥲. On a positive note my mam would have loved those new houses and the fact it was called Acklam Green as she always aspired to live in Acklam and wouldn’t tell anyone she lived in Whinney Banks ( bit of a snob) but I always corrected and reminded her 🤣. Many many happy memories . Keep up the good work!

I remember the toilets on weathhead Ave my nana lived on weathered Ave. I was born In Rowell shop upstairs my mam and dad worked in shop and we lived upstairs, I went to Whitney banks school till 2nd year seniors then we moved.butchers shop next door was creasors then Lancaster went to school with Margaret and Geraldine.and remember Scoby smiths caravans.hapy days.
