Thankyou, i seen some of your videos 👍 good to document things like this because this site has so mich forgotten history. Im excited to see the project progress into the later stages! Shame its going to take 4-5 years aha! Epic scale project this
Shows how long I've been down the town as I didn't even know this happened. Was shocked when this came up in my homepage. Wonder how many millions they will be wasting this time in another one of their hairbrained schemes while the road I live on is full of cracks, potholes & patchwork temporary fixes like it has been for the last 20yrs+ Enjoyed the video so thanks to Jamie.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. We will see if they are anywhere near on track with thei project as I document more and more of it. Will be great to see it take shape though. Stockton council do like to prioritize new projects whilst complaining they have no funds for maintaining completed projects mind.
@@jamiekenleyuk You're not wrong in you second statement. I think they feel they "have" to spend any cash they have in hand on anything they can think of (usually vanity projects instead of real needs) so they can then go cap in hand to the government etc, or worse still lay any additional funding they "need" on the local tax payers. Annoying, but what can you do as the next council voted in just rinse & repeat 🤣
Thankyou, im glad you enjoyed it. I have planned out the entire project, however it could take a while to complete as it is a huge site. The demolition alone is set to take more than a year. 😳
@@californiadreamin8423 There are images of the castles foundations supposedly taken on the site of the car park in this video. I found them looking on either tees archaeology website or the national archive, i dont remember witch.
such a shame weve lost our shops and good quality, its now all china crap online you cant take it back to exchange if its wrong time consuming sending back
I used to play in the lifts at the castle gate car multi story when I was a kid ! All those memories are gone.....
Is Uptons still there? I get the impression I'm not going to recognise Stockton soon. Moved away in 1987.
Uptons isn't here that i know of! hope the videos are of help to you :)
great shots of the town there ..😄
Thankyou, will be getting more in time 😊
Nice video Jamie
I'm following it's progress as well 👍

It will be worth it in the end for sure 😊
Excellent, Very excited to see more phases in this way!
Fantastic video mate 👏👍
Thank you! It's much appreciated. Keep flying and creating 📸
Wow 😍
Going to miss seeing Castlegate and swallow.
Will always be on here 😅
It'll be a part of history now, buddy 👍🏻
Poor castle gate:( same company as the flats across the river,sad to see the swallow and castle gate coming down:(
This company receives many of the demolition contracts around the North East UK.
@@jamiekenleyuk totally,but I didn’t expect it over here though!

Superb! Thank you so much for doing this... I hope you're going to cover the whole demolition process and the transformation afterwards 😊

@@jamiekenleyuk Wow, it's going to be a labour of love but will be worth documenting in the long run. Good luck and thanks again.
@@Moonlight-kq2vk yup! I will most definitely need motivation to keep it up aha. 🤯
Love the video shots what drone did you use. Also love the drone work and video production
Thanks! Its apreiciated 🙌 I use a few different cameras including a dji mini, mavic pro & pocket pro. Depends on scene and location 📸
When do the archaeologists go in ?
I dont know when or if they go in at all unfortunatly.
@@jamiekenleyuk There’s supposed to be a castle somewhere close by.

@@jamiekenleyuk Thanks for the info.
@@californiadreamin8423 no probs 😊
Whenever did these transformations to historic towns ever work.look at what they have already done to the town. someone is making a fast buck .
Stockton is the test bed for large changes to small struggling town centers, lets hope it works out well for us.
Do you see what they did there.
The castlegate.....the heart of stockton.
Does this imply they have just taken the heart out of stockton 🤔
You could say that! Still, it will be great to see what they can make of the space.
