Born in consett area in 1965,so many memories of the town,we moved away as my dad had a new job in Stanley.Been away from the north east for many years now and always visit consett when I’m in the area .well done on a great video.
My Dad was born in Blackhill in 1924. I just showed him your video and he loved it. Thanks for making the video and sharing it with the world (Canada, in our case).
Thank you for sharing. i was born in Shottley Bridge Hospital in 1969. My family are the Barretts. My nana lived on Oakdale road. i have cousins still living in the area as all my aunts and uncles have passed away. Most of them lived around Delves Lane.
Really enjoyed this, thanks for posting it up - I've just subscribed to your channel too & look forward to more Consett nostalgia. Always had a real soft spot for Consett & it's surrounding area, my Father was originally from the Delves (lived just behind the old Black Diamond) and my Mother was from Leadgate so I guess it's in my DNA. It does always surprises me there isn't more written history about Consett in light of its industrial heritage so recordings like yours are always great to dip into.
As a local lad I lived in Consett for nearly all my life until 2016 when my late grandmother in the February, I feel the town has gone downhill from 2016 until now and the best years for the town was the 1990s until 2016.

Same for most of the UK unfortunately, some much worse than others.
