Such fantastic shops Consett had in its heyday, myself recalling the 1960s. It was then a mucky place, yet then it had prosperity and a proud, positive attitude for the future. Thanks for posting these happy memories.
Some great memories there but I didn't see a photo of 'Bywells' on front street. Furniture store. Worked there after leaving school for a few weeks. Hated it, manager was awful.
Oh the days when you hired a TV rather than buy one 😂 Radio Rentals comes to mind. Some even had a coin slot so you payed for what you watched 😮 One near neighbour even had a Rental colour TV when they first came out. Now that was one upmanship 😂

Fond memories of the cafe above Liptons. Great video!
Happy memories of Gibsons shoe shop. I worked there in late 1960s and 70s.
