Just Heard that they have at long last started to puul down the old house that i used to live in. Had some great times around that area.

chav generation ruined it - the out of sight out of mind parenting brigade - cheap carling lager , ten lambert n butler, doorstep parties, private landlords and politically correct policing and bureacracy from council to blame.

wont be long before street full of devvos - see link re bteer than the streets

I really do hope people who saw that realised that Devvo is just a big pisstake of chav culture.

It's a real shame, that whole area off Chester Road (Acclom Street aside) was quite a nice area when I was a kid, especially the streets at the top end. It's a tragedy that these communities have been allowed to disintergrate.

It's not just a Hartlepool thing, you see the same all over the country with these streets being demolished to be replaced by the usual template driven two and three bedroom cardboard Wimpey houses.

Apparently they think that by demolishing the area and erecting shiney new rabbit hutches the problems solved ....but unless they demolished the old houses with the problem tenants inside them, the problem as such remains ...it aint rocket science but these clowns think they've achieved something

i think half of it has to do with the government having a pot of money to throw away on new housing and because the old houses cost as much to renovate its just as cheap to rebuild. fair point though snowy, mind you i would flatten easington road and just leave it flattened

yes i agree with most things said. My parents lived there for over forty years. They didn't want to move and now live in a bunglow up throston. Not the same now when i visit have to stay at sisters.

It surprises me that people think it's real.

I met David Firth - bought him a pint - he lived in Hull while I was there. In fact, all the Devvo films are done there. Don't know if you can tell by the urban decay like

no no it's far too well done to be any were near real

but that is how the lil chores are and the streets are full of people like him
in real life - hate em all me
