- This is a Compilation of Photos from around Middlesbrough and Surrounding Areas , I hope you all enjoy :)
Many thanks to everyone who Provided the Fantastic Photos And Thank You to Memories of Middlesbrough on Facebook
I only joined the M o M Facebook group last week and have had a real trip down memory lane as well as reconnecting with folk from the Boro. I was born in the Boro in 1960 then moved away in 1983 after my parents died. So even though I've not lived there for 37 years I still feel connected to the town and it's such a treat to be able to refamiliarise myself with the 'old place'. Huge respect to you for this brilliant video.
Cheers mate , Some great times and photos along with good music :)
Just come across this video i my self was born and bread city road grove hill my grandmother lived marton burn road and the rest of family members all close by love boro parmo and chips lol
your video shows up the systematic violation of middlesbrough's fantastic heritage by successive councils over the last 40 years or so.middlesbrough town centre is an example of pure vandalism...at 12.12 there is a picture of the old victorian swimming baths,(also shamefully destroyed),where we were taken in the early 60's for lessons by my primary school...i still can't swim lol but the smells and feelings of the atmosphere will never leave me...thanks.
Thankyou for your comments , I love this video , It means a lot to me , It has special parts of The Whole Of Middlesbrough ,
Just a minor observation, The Green Tree was not in Gurney Street, that was the North Riding. This is not a criticism as this is a great piece of work, looking forward to seeing a lot more.
Nice
Petrol station at 3.38 looks like the one at Grove Hill. If it is, it was called Ronnie Parkinsons.Cheers.
now Kenny mate,
you've pinched my idea bud, lol, serious I was talking about all the pictures I've got ov Boro from days gone by, and am getting more all the time, on Facebook and was gonna use a app on my ipad to put them all together in a nice slideshow kinda way, and have a good tune playing alongside it, and post it on Facebook and UA-cam, lmao, (must admit though, I didn't think of using "cris rea - steel river" very clever, a song about the area by someone who was born here, dammit why didn't I think of that, lmfao)
anyway u beat me to it, but i guess great minds an all that, ;)
my grandad worked in Poole sanitorium
MIDDLESBROUGH, STOCKTON, BILLINGHAM, DARLINGTON, JESMOND, NEWCASTLE, YORK & YARM - OUR UNUSUAL NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND
Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps.
Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. In 1941 in Yarm Richard married Margaret Hawxwell, a local lass from Middlesbrough. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1).
Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks.
When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs lived in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. He also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants (now PwC) he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne.
So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs!
Details of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974.
