  • This is the 14th instalment in my series of Then & Now video slideshows which
    I hope will show the changes in our area over the decades. Hopefully these videos will bring back memories to older
    viewers whilst also showing younger viewers what Middlesbrough used to look like in their parents, grandparents and great grandparents eras.

    Just spent a hour of nostalgic reminiscing, thank you. Next time I am in the UK will need to see the cobbled Bush street. I lived in Melbourne street that was also cobbled, mid 50 's. Sadly no more,

    So much history lost with the passage of time. Excellent video Stephen. Thanks.

      Yes, lost but not forgotten, keeping the memory of old Middlesbrough is why I'm making these videos.

    Lookin down Linthope Rd from Newhouses in the old photo im sure u can c a clock on the wall above /near the old Shakespear pub. It had bin there from wen I wos a kid 40s time, at some time in later yrs the Council decided to remove it and replaced it with a Tower bell clock, it did add some characture to the mall but not for Long the Council removed that as well, lookin down there now looks bare. As for the photo of Bush St it only gos to show how people looked after there homes in earlier days.

    1:24 I don't believe there are more people now, I think there are less. This photo proves it.

      Town centres all over the country are failing to attract the customers anymore, shopping habits have changed.

      I've looked in the museum and the reference library the only place I haven't tried is the archives as you have to pay for access.

      Then there is something wrong, this should be a time of triumph & progress, but it isn't. Why are people no longer characters?
      Why do we look around and see emptiness, waste land and joblessness and ugly buildings?

      Unfortunately there are very few old photos of those areas, when and if I come across any they'll be in a future video.

    Great work. I thought a couple of the "afters" worked out well, but the rest were just the usual disappointment.
