I grew up in Peterlee it was a great town. Surrounded by Fields, Forests and a Dene where we spent most of our time. Not far from the coast, Horden/Crimdon. Great Days.

WOW Peterlee looks GREAT!!!! Can't make up my mind between this town, Cumbernauld or Telford!!!!!

I lived there 10 years after it was built and attended a wonderful school there. But the flat roofs on the houses were a problem - always leaks.

[@geraldfisher8684]

Those houses were freezing in winter. I know I lived in one.

Now it's nothing but a run down dump :)

After watching this, you wouldn’t recognise the place now. Total dump
