    another great vid stephen..when your a teessider( thornaby and lived in middlesbrough) lad whos lived on the south coast since 1998..these memories and vids help me a lot..as i took it for granted living off ayresome for a for a few years..i really miss ayresome park and the boro/thornaby i grew up with...makes my blood boil the vast streets and grade 1 and 2 buildings they bull dozed in the 70s/80s to make way for shit what looks like its falling apart now...that old cleveland art college on union street i went to for a few days in about 1994..i absolutely loved it..cant believe thats gone aswell...so much as gone for me its upsetting if i visit as im still see it as it was in 1992 or something...like ayresome park..union street,the old pubs(westminster,the speedway,the acklam etc) not only there but thornaby flats and town centre,stockton riverside...u think these vids are an honour to those immigrants/early settlers who im a distant relative of our thornaby irish immigrants who helped shaped the teesside that we are so proud of...so sad that almost the entire area of st hildas has gone..all that history and hard graft...now just empty wastelands of grass and tarmac..where the ghosts of yesterday sadly are a memory...brilliant tributes and vids stephen..

      Ii was in the town centre on Saturday and ir was like a ghost town, I remember when Saturdays in the town centre were always crowded with shoppers. It is sad to see the decliine.

      Totally correct.
      This town, in fact this country is finished.
      Very little good about either.
      This town has been subject to architectural, cultural and social vandalism
      I'd love to go back to when I was a kid in the 70s
      Simpler and better times.
      When a strong sense of community and caring for other people pervaded.
