The corner shop(F.M.Walker) on junction of Russell Street and Dovecot Street.
I have not seen her for years. I remember her uncle Jack, as far as I know the house is still there. Last time I saw it, it had scaffolding up.
IS SHE STILL ABOUT IN STOCKTON – SHE USED TO WORK AT ASDA. REMEMBER HER UNCLE JACK, BIG BLOKE WITH GLASSES. HER AUNTY BETTY? HOUSE STILL STANDING!
Can anyone remember Jackie Young? She lived on the corner of Millbank Street & Russell Street opposite Arthur’s Shop. Her mother also worked in the shop. I wonder if she still lives in the Stockton area?
Yes Amelia the one and only. I have seen some of your posts from a few years back. Glad to see you back on, I hope you’re keeping well.
Rob, are you Robbie Hodgson from Millbank Street?
I would like to know the date this photo was taken – can anyone help?
Julie – would that be the Joseph and Eileen Thomas who had a couple of sons, one nicknamed Spuggy who joined the Army, and another called Steve? I was good friends with Steve.
Hi Robert, I am Julies sister Dulcie. Gran and Grandad lived at 60 Sydney Street and yes they had 4 sons the ones you refer to are Peter “spuggy” and Stephen they were both in the army. Sadly uncle Peter has passed away but Stephen is still alive and still living locally 😀
I remember going to this shop when we visited my nana and grandad, they lived 69 Sidney Street. The house was still owned by the family until recently. My grandparents were Joseph and Eileen Thomas. Loved going to the shop, they sold all kinds of sweet in jars. Brought back some very fond memories for me – thank you.
Thanks Bob, Yes I have seen the two photo”s you have mentioned, there are a few others from that particular area that I am interested in such as the Unitarian church, which has recently been demolished, Jubilee Hall, the Masonic Hall, Stanley Street, Durham Street and Leeds Street. I was particularly searching for other streets such as Carlton Street, Victoria Street, Vane Street and Howden Street. Hopefully some one might come across old photos gathering dust in the attic and be kind enough to submit them. Once again Bob, many thanks, Steve
I was just wondering if Steve Lambert had seen this old photograph of Russell Street and Dovecot Street.
This shop is at the other end of Russell Street. It was owned by uncle Jim Walker who previously had a Butchers Shop in Norton High Street. The name above the shop is in his wifes name Florence. He used his abilities as a Butcher to cook Hams etc.
Was this shop ever a pub? If so what was it called?
I’ve never noticed this shop before, until yesterday, at a distance while driving down Nelson Terrace, spooky!
I’ve looked at several maps from 1895 – present and this building (42 Sydney St.) has never been marked as a pub. I noticed on streetview the Samuel Smith’s “Taddy Ales” sign was still there in 2018, was/is it an off-licence?
The other corner of Russell Street opposite the Clarendon was the old Water Board offices, sign still visible. Walter Willson was on the corner of Palmerston St.
As Moira Murphy says,this shop is the other end of Russel Street. The end of Russell Str. mentioned was where the Clarendon Hotel is. Opposite side was Walter Wilson the Grocer.
This shop is at the other end of Russell Street at it”s junction with Sydney Street
