What/where are they and how many do we have


What do the kids look forward to see when going to the match ( apart from the pub)

Morrisons

ADG!

According to some daft bint from Dalkeith Road we've lost one today the disused Bonne Bouche cake factory "It's always been here"

They'll probably cancel that Tall Ships thing now

The Mail should do a feature on this woman from Dalkeith Road, it could be interesting!

Christchurch, erm... civic centre (it's certainly noticeable)?

The curly slide at mill house, used to love seeing that as a kid

What's the tallest non church building in Hartlepool? Titan House?

They should pull Titan House down. Its an eyesore, especially round the back.

No Rarfs Arms

loads of stuff i like

Things of interest:

Andy Capp
The hart on Navigation Point
St. Hilda's Church
Town Wall
Them windmill things
Crimean War cannon
Heugh Battery
That plaque saying we were bombed

Errrrr

Things you can see from/near Pools:

Steetley stack
St Oswald's church
Mosque (which actually looks pretty cool)
Pastel houses on the Headland (if you look between the Cyril Knowles and Town End)

A few of us (not many) can remember scenes like this.

I guess this would have been taken in Greatham street or maybe somewhere near Belle Vue.

I remember driving down Brenda Road and someone had pinched the slag bank.

The Co-op building, the Wesley...

Great picture of Greatham Street by the way Richard - is that the 'Old Works'?

I concur.
Living proof that photography IS sometimes art.

Yes indeed, South Durham Steel and Iron Company North Works to be exact.
It might have spouted filth into the air like there was no tomorrow but it did employ thousands upon thousands of people.
And like Grabec, I find there is much cruel beauty in that photograph.

Certainly is - do you have any more like it?

I can't imagine growing up in Hartlepool when it used to look like that, 30 - 40 years ago it was just a completely different type of town.

Offit.

Unfortunately no, but I rather fancy Mr Gremmlin might.

By

musgrave streetor as now called hucklehoven way

To be honest, I can't imagine growing up in Hartlepool, or most other places, now.
At least we had slag heaps. There was a lot of soul in slag heaps

My grandad had a real thing for the prop piles. When they went he was gutted. I think he was involved in their production or transportation at some point in his life.

My favourite landmark in Hartlepool, my favourite building anywhere come to that.
The view from the top is my favourite as well.

I took one of the kids that the mrs used to look after to the top of there last summer after he had been going on for ages about wanting to go up. As soon as we got to the top he wanted to go straight back down, kids eh

has anybody got a picture of throston bridge i would really like a picture i can print off and frame as our lass has a fetish about throston bridge

STEETLEY CHIMNEY , HOPE THEY DONT PULL IT DOWN.

Me Mother worked in that shop on the near right, it was Rosens Drapers for years.

Bloody Kitty Pringle.

They could've been a bit more careful with the spelling.

That's Musgrave Street alright, with the Central Stores at the top, and you can still see where it was if you go to the Central Stores ( presently converted to flats) and look down the grassy area opposite. You can actually still walk down what was Musgrave Street, on the grass, passing South Scarborough Street, and what was Whitby St. Hucklehoven Way is further over. I used to live in Whitby St as a kid and have walked up and down Musgrave St hundreds of times. The Piccadilly Bar near the junction with Lynn St was a great coffee bar that sold delicious ice cream. At the other end of Musgrave St. was the level crossing into old town.

Is that Lister Street school Mr F, I was in 4th year juniors there when they upped sticks and moved to Eldon Grove

just a taster

did you get told off for getting wet in the middle picture

and you got any of throston bridge

i do mate

will fish it out

no but that kid with his legs astride is snowy apparently
got one with the blue bus

katcha do you have the picture so i can get a print off it

i have a better one than that with one of the blue buses going past mate
will fish it and sort copy as it's one of my dads slides - or maybe not after reading grems post as i always thought it was

anyway i'm gonna go thro his slides next week

there'll be loads of the headland and dock area and old central

will be good

Certainly is Lister Street Infants school where I walked in in my very early youth to be greated by the formidable Miss Chilvers. Frosty knickers personified. The house on the right was the Caretakers Lodge.

It is a great shot

Is that the bridge where the Codheads hung the fishing nets over to keep the plague or the pox or some other horrible disease out.

Sorry some of my best friends are Codheads.

Mr Verrill especially.

The Gateway to Heaven.

a good one

I love old pics of the town , I thrive on seeing stuff like this.
What it goes to show is, nothing lasts forever. We all disappear, as do the landmarks we build.

does anyone have one of the second arch near Rovers rugby ground? That's been knocked down a few years.

it'll be in the old fella's slides mate along with every ship to enter hpool dock in the 70s

some great photos of the warrior the day he brought it in - i was allowed to play on the peice of smelly dodgy wood
