Haven't been around much the last couple of weeks after a bit of surgery but nice to see a few that relate to the family history from many moons ago and my own not so dim and distant past too. Opened up with the very gates that a relative erected at the goods yard and almost cost him his life. That would have been amongst the strangest railway fatalities to ever make the newspapers.
Its quite amazing how in a relatively short space of time most of what is in the photos has just been bulldozed. thanks for going to the trouble of uploading the film. Very interesting, why did the Great Northern Hotel dissappear?
What is the location of 1:35 please ?? it feels familiar but not....... ?? Feels like it could be Canwick Rd looking up towards the south common and Canwick Hill, Travellers Rest and Ripon St on the right ? If so I lived on the end of those terraces houses in 1991 (number 53) almost opposite the old Office World.
@@lightanddreamsphotography7140 Alex Buchannan used to own a lot of that property on Canwick Rd, he had quite a few down Ripon St as well, he went on to run that Strip Club up near the Theatre Royal.
Some fantastic photographs there, I would love to know how the Tram & Mainline crossing worked at the high street crossing? A few really nice pictures of the avoiding (High Line). Would you mind if I added them to a video I created a few years ago? as per this link! studio.ua-cam.com/users/videoQPm14T0xAKc/edit Credit and link to this excellent piece included of course.

I think the hotel had got in a very bad state
These photos are brilliant, the closest we can come to a Time Machine.
Thanks Steve, I wish I could take credit for taking them :)

You forgot about the old skellingthorpe train station
I didn't forget about it, just didn't have a photo of it :)
