It's been quite a few years since I last went to Hartlepool, I used to come down for a drive from Whitley Bay just to see somewhere different. The video was more interesting for my wife than me, because she's never been to the UK. She thought it looked very tidy and well maintained, and given we live a long way from the sea it was interesting for her to see it. I've no idea of the temperature, despite the sunshine I suspect it was quite cool. On Monday it was 39 degrees C in northern Thailand and cold weather is one of the things about life in the north east of England I don't miss. Interesting video.
GSF. I had my first job in that building. A Saturday job before leaving school back in the early 70's. A department store that put me behind the counter on their men's department. "Oh suits you, Sir". "Suits you!" Sadly, no Johnny Depp. I loved working there I really did. HAPPY DAYS. ❤ x
Despite the strikes etc, life was so much better then. Born and raised in Hartlepool, left many years ago though I do still have friends there. I remember the electricity board well. Happy days.
