At 7:03 the young man walking with his mother is me, Malcolm Dennis and Lilian Dennis in the fur hat ! They were good times, and now I’m 80 years old the memories came flooding back, thank you for that .
My great grandparents are from west Hartlepool and left for Canada in the early 1900s. I’ve been wanting to go there to see how it is. It’s nice to see a bit of it though this video
I would loved to have seen it all then, it's heartbreaking to see the way everything is now, from years and I'm 59 now I remember Lambs jewelers in York road and someone really close to me was close friends with the owner, his name was Harold Neilsen. What really breaks my heart is the people who own it now just don't care about the history of the shop, the beautiful clock outside was so relied upon to give you the right time but now it never gets touched and the name has gone from underneath, I even went in one day and asked them if they would put it to the correct time but they never did and now it's been turned into a convenience store, the same happened with Northrop's, before they had to close I asked if i could buy some little stools and they are now in my yard with plants on them, the owners said they would let me have their Northrop's sign, when it had been taken down they told me it had gone in the skip, the owners now should be ashamed of themselves. Nothing is the same now, I would have hung that in my passage as a keep sake to preserve the memories, I would have even kept the clock, but as usual they said no. And when you go into these shops now I think people will know why I feel this way and I think people will know what I mean but I won't say it because it's racist. 😭.
Hi, I hope this isn't any kind of intrusion by any means to you, but I had a few questions about the time period that I've not been able to find online anywhere else. So, I wanted to know if I could maybe pick your brain about somethings about living in that time? It's for a creative writing class that I'm attending
City Stylish, 7:26. I bought my first pair of Wrangler jeans there at the age of twelve. They were pricey - fifteen shillin' - but I was the proudest young un in town.
It is so heartbreaking, i wanted the sign of Northrop's florists to put into my passage to respect itand take care of it, although i was promised i would be given it i found they has put it in the skip, this shop now is run by well i won't say the name its racist, but i was given some little colums while the person who owned it previously gave them to me, they are now in my yard with plants on them and carefully preserved and taken care of, as for the clock in York road i asked if i could have that but the owners now said no. It would have been looked after and loved but it is there above the shop with no name on it and it is never put to the correct time anymore, and obviously i will not say to much about the owners now except if i do i will be classed racist, even if it had been put into the Hartlepool museum it would have been looked after, i get so angry when i see both Lambs and Northrop's but if i really had to speak my mind i would probably be at the police station in a cell for the night. It really bugs me but unfortunately Hartlepool is being taken over by, i won't say it because I'm being racist, who ever may be reading this will know in their hearts what i mean, its heartbreaking and an insult to Hartlepool. 😢.
The name isn't racist, it's a simple abbreviation, but it developed a stigma because no one likes the people bearing the name. So apparently they're being re-branded... that should help

Taken over? By whom?
Trying to imagine anyone, 50 years from now, making a similar video about Middleton Grange. Progress?
