my dad was from there, dead now, but can now see the streets he must have frequented as a child, never visited there myself and yet filled with a sort of nostalgia for something i never knew..
Photo's can have that affect especially if they are related to a close family member.
i lived in a shared house nearby in oxford street in 1996/98.have some very fond memories,cant imagine no more ayresome park..teesside changed so much so i left..been in sussex 25 years....grew up in thornaby,moved to boro in 96ish left in 98..shocked how time flies..used to know a bloke called dave who worked in dorman museum too ..whether hes even alive or not now..really nice bloke too
Awesome! first photo is just a few yards from the house i grew up in on Regent Road, it looks beautiful.
I'm a smoggie living in Bournemouth for last 35 years. Loved seeing what was and is now. So much change. Even from when I lived there! Might even be moving back. You can take the lad from the smog but you can't stop him coughing lol. Great pics.
Thanks Doug though I must say that the air quality in the area is a lot better these days ;-)
@@BigMack1959 yes it is. Where did all the industry go. The Tees is no longer a footpath lol
Doug, Maggie saw off the steel industry our town was built on. This country hardly makes anything anymore as various governments encouraged the growth of the financial services sector instead of manufacturing and look where that got us in 2008.
@@BigMack1959 yes. Always losers in private enterprise. Shame so many. I'm coming back for a few days next week. To have a better look about! I was so shocked at so many houses around the town gone!
I'm keeping fingers crossed that our exit from the big e can be a turn around for the country's manufacturing industries. Boro could be a great place to start. Be great to see the town booming. It really deserves it. We seem to be the forgotten town of the North East
Have you got a part 9 of your then and now series coming out? I've really enjoyed watching it.
@@dougthornton3350 I'm currently working on many photo and video projects in my spare time there definitely will be a part 9 but it'll be when i can find time to edit the photos and make the video. If you've subscribed to my channel you should get a notification when I post my next video. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
I was born in Middlesbrough 14 Glebe Road 1960 lovely Video
Thank you Catherine.
That was lovely to see
Thanks mate.
When I think of how many times I 'walked', staggered more like, the length of Linthorpe Rd after a night out at the Incognito or Madisons all the way back to Grove Hill, without a care in the world, hahaha. I remember how beautiful the interior of the Sacred Heart was, I rang the bells there a few times in the early 70s, though I went to Mass at the College,( St. Mary's).
last shot of Sacred Heart ....facing the end of Clive Rd. where I lived '48 to '68. The light building on the lhs is the Presbyterian Chapel where my mam sent me to Sunday school in 1952 ...
I learnt Kung Fu there in the hall round the back in the early 90's... if I remember correctly.
Brilliant
Thanks Steven
@@BigMack1959 can't get enough of these type of vids Stephen .
Steven, there will be more coming when I have enough spare time to make them.
I think this mania for pedestrianising the town centres doesn't always work it can be pleasant up to a point but a town like Boro - without the buzz and movement of traffic it just makes the place feel 100 times more dead than it already is
what's so hard about waiting till the road is clear of cars and crossing it? jesus
They did it so you could not bring your car near the shops, so had to pay for parking hence multi-storey car parks.
@@doravernon1511 everything is a racket 😡
@@grai indeed.
The picture showing baxter street and the green tree ,,Could you tell me what the name of the building was on the right hand side .I believe this was a theatre or even a picture house .
You're right Michael, it was the Marlboro Cinema.
0:12 that one is mind-boggling, they had a large grass roundabout & flower beds, all removed - for what? The BHS corner became more ugly & sparse of people when it was 'pedestrianised"! 1:31 Am I alone in thinking we have LESS people now, NOT more? 2:01 looks pre-WW1 to me....
Yes I wonder if the loss of the roundabout flower bed was a cost saving exercise ?
@@BigMack1959 because they used to employ a lot of council gardeners, get rid of flower beds, make gardeners redundant.
@@misscoutts6193 This has happened all over the country whilst the council administrators get hefty pay rises.
