Can you help?
This picture looks like the one time Stockton Council Depot at Richmond Street, Stockton. The building on the left with the tall chimney was the Victorian incinerator plant – this has now been demolished. (This information was kindly provided by Julian Herbert)
This looks like the site which stood behind Hills on Norton Road. It was on the right if you went straight at the roundabout at the top of Maritime Road (towards Durham). (This information was kindly provided by Ian)
It looks like the old gasworks site next to the Durham Road bypass. (This information was kindly provided by John)
Could this possibly be an image of the F Hills & Sons chimney on Norton Road? (This information was kindly provided by kev)
Isn,t it the old council depot that was behind the closed down pub The Commercial . (This information was kindly provided by John)
That was over the railway from Eastbourne (in Norton). I know because we used to play around it when we where kids… Think it was the HILLS place. (This information was kindly provided by Rob Hawkes)
It is the old corporation depot in Richmond Street. on the left of the incinerator was the salt store for the roads also used as a garage for the transport. The buildings to the right housed the stores upstairs and downstairs was the fitters workshop. How do I know this? I served my apprenticeship there as a painter/decorator from 1962.

This is the yard in Richmond Street which was the destructors yard for the cats & dogs with the big chimney, hope this refreshes Colin Brownlee’s memory.
In response to brian codd and the richmond st depot – the fitters were a good squad of men. jim brydon, billy parker, little jonny who looked after the tractor”s, also MO A.B.A. boxing champion.also all the young lads that were taught a trade,billy parker was in benidorm last year and called to see me,.brought back good memories of S.B.C
Yes it is Richmond street depot [stockton council].I was a motor fitter for the council operating from Cowpen Lane depot garage.I use to get sent there to repair vehicles or highways machines. Nice lot the guys who worked in the yard and on the road gangs -street lighting-paint section always a cup of tea waiting after repairs
Photo is the old council yard just behind Downing iron foundry, i worked at the foundry as a moulder {I served my time there} on hot summer days I would climb on our roof during dinner time and shout over at a couple of the blokes who drank in the Brown Jug,the gas house as we all called it was off to the right, and a big wall seperated the council yard from the gas works, to the left of our foundry was the coal yard, then Hills, all the best derek.casey3@ntlworld.com
Was this not the old Hartlepool & Port Clarence station, on the left on Norton Road, as you headed towards Stockton, just past F W Hills. Remember there had been a bridge after you passed Tilery Road as the road started to climb? On the right was a roofless, urinals only, public toilet.
This photo is most certainly Stockton Council Depot in Richmond Street – been there many a time
Definitely not Downings, I worked sub-contract as an electrician there for GM Burton & Co. Yes they made drain covers, a dirty hole of a place with a dust storm inside whenever the “pug mill” silo was being refilled with silica sand. I hope we did not catch anything working there. I remember the day the new furnace burst its water jacket and we “lost” a full furnace of metal – blew all over the place. Place closed not long after that. Happy days! working outside on the old DC Crane with the gantry that moved in the breeze (1975) the place would not even get the doors open with todays workplace safety requirements
I remember a factory called Downing”s which made drain covers for paths and roads. also a coal yard later a car scrap yard.
That was over the railway from Eastbourne (in Norton). I know because we used to play around it when we where kids… Think it was the HILLS place.
