Out of interest how did you come across that on you tube?, Did someone tell you about it or was it some strange random search that you entered.

the biggest mistake was knocking down all the old shopping area's(lynn st,musgrave st and all the rest)if you go into the shopping centre at the grand hotel entrance it looks derelict,it wants knocking down and rebuilt starting from scratch,i spend the least time in there as possible

Random! I always look for "Hartlepool" things.

My Nan and Grandad had HOURS of this sort of stuff from when we were kids. When me Granda died (in 1982) she met this other Gadgie who subsequently got all of her stuff, including all those Cine-Films. He dies shortly after, but when me Dad went for what was rightly his, it had been SKIPPED. rage

There was stuff like me playing on The Vic (1974), a couple of Sports Days etc and I think some footage of our first band (1977). Loads of 60's stuff an all. I have about 20 minutes on video..thats all. sadx

not even my stuff, but that story of what happened to irreplaceable things like that - especially when the fate which become of them was caused by people who didn't deserve to have the stuff banghead

makes my piss boil!!!

Like the story of Mutley's mate who borrowed his Pools video from years ago - never gave it back and never kept it safe - and his mate's thick wife tapes Eastenders on it when she grabs the first tape to hand!!!

Death is too good for theose people!!!!

the good thing about being mad all your life is - nobody can tell the difference when you should really be in the old folks home!!!! :laugh:
