Stephen is a true Timelord with his ability to time travel and we as his passengers. Cannot overstate the importance and value of this work.
Sadly I only have one heart and can't regenerate :-)
The old picture of Marton Hall is just amazing it is the roof level i find most interesting with the amount of technology on the roof.
Thanks Dave that comparison was one that I was wanting to make for a while.
I have a great interest in local history I am from Stockton but Middlesbrough has caught my attention. Recently. My history interests are very thought provoking and I tend to deal with the sort of history you will not find in any books or town records.......I have just been in Middlesbrough today videoing the old town hall...the old provincial bank and a look round exchange square to see what I could find also I love to document these old buildings. I do put most of my work on my RUclips channel. I am looking forward to looking at the rest of your videos to see if I can pick out the high tech buildings that Middlesbrough use to have so many of.
Dave you may be interested to know that the old National & Provincial bank was not the original building on that corner. The original 1830's house belonged to an owner of a shipyard near Ferry Road. The Bank acquired the site and built the building that is still there now which opened in 1872.
@@BigMack1959 that makes a lot of sense to me..i would love to see what was there before but in 1830 photography was not around....have you ever seen any drawings of what was here before?
Dave, I have a photo of the old house.
I used to live in Allen street as a teenager, brings back memories thank you for uploading
You're welcome Munir
That town hall change is astounding
Yes, the last building standing.
Thank you Stephen, what a beautiful piece of work. It brings back so many memories keep up the good work, I totally enjoyed that.
Thank you Jameel, there will be more to come in 2020.
Stephen looking forward and can’t want
Great vid once again .
Thanks Steven.
Love how you get the image to overlap. Thanks for sharing much appreciated. 😊💕
Thank you Kathleen, they do look more effective when the old view dissolves unto the new one.
Looks exactly how it still is today
I loved every minute, even though some moments were sad. You have created some wonderful work, it all looks like a labour of Love. Thank you so much xxx
Thanks Maggie, the time and effort is worth while so it can preserve our town's history.
2:28 pigeon huts: I think the maisonettes were a type of prefab, not meant to last. 3:17 no wonder there is a chronic housing shortage, as there was at the outbreak of WW1, empty 'green' spaces, that are no go area at night, once were lined with houses with brightly lit windows.
Architecture like clothing comes into fashion then goes out of fashion. In the 1960's and '70's it was the turn of the Brutalist architects like John Poulsen and Ernő Goldfinger with their concrete box designs that in my eyes looked like a Russian labour camp and was destined to age badly and in some towns and cities these concrete jungles became "no go" areas.
As for 3:17 these houses were demolished so that student housing for the ever expanding University could be build. Up to now none have been built there.
@@BigMack1959 so it was probably an excuse to bulldoze, again demolition and reclamation contracts. They were meant to look like prison camps, that's in essence what they were, but because they had a bathroom, people were more than happy to accept it.
@@doravernon1511 People moved from cold damp houses into these maisonettes which had an indoor bathroom and warm air central heating and for a few years these new estates weren't bad but there was never the community spirit that you had in the old demolished estates where most of the families in these new estates came from. In my area these started getting rundown in the late 70's into the 80's. Problem families and druggies moving in and the decent people moving out. How we can get around this problem repeating itself time and time again I have no idea and neither do i think have the housing associations who have taken over the managing of the old council housing.
@@BigMack1959 Thatcher selling off council housing was a big mistake, saying they would never become vacant, of course they would as now those young couples in the early 1950s with kids are dying off. The houses were not replaced, as promised. Now it's gone back to the bad old slum landlord days, Rachmanism is back. People moved on the promise of a bathroom then got stuck in a 'street in the sky" where they never saw a living soul. Cosy coal fires and a tin bath in front of it was no worse.
@@doravernon1511 Thatcher wanted to wipe out the working class by making them all property owners who would then vote Tory like the rest of the middle class. The council houses were sold with big discounts and the councils were not allowed to use any monies received to build new homes. Yes I'm afraid Rachmanism is back with a vengeance and because of the shortage of social housing these slum landlords are getting away with providing substandard housing because councils don't have anywhere to rehouse these people living in 21st century slums.
The old town hall one is very sad
Yes Thomas, standing alone in wasteland it is sad, the council are going to restore it and the Captain Cook as part of their plan to regenerate the area.
great vidio its a pitty middlesbrough council has allowed so many historical buildings to be demolished they call it progress i call it vandalism ? ex over the border boy i left boro 30 years ago thanks for the memories
You're welcome Paul, I will be posting more videos on this channel when I can.
MIDDLESBROUGH, STOCKTON, BILLINGHAM, DARLINGTON, JESMOND, NEWCASTLE, YORK & YARM - OUR UNUSUAL NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND
Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps.
Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. In 1941 in Yarm Richard married Margaret Hawxwell, a local lass from Middlesbrough. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1).
Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks.
When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs lived in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. He also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants (now PwC) he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne.
So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs!
Details of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974.
Yes I agree with changes but it's far too much going on you should ask people. counsellors promise you what do the opposite. Just for the glory and take money.
