This could be the entrance to the brewery on Bridge Road in Stockton. c1900
Seeing this come up again probably an explanation would give more insight.
On the corner of the left side of the Stockton High Street facing south it joined Bridge Road and Castlegate which ran down to the river, on that corner the Empire Theatre was built in the standard Empire style as it was a company that covered many City’s and Towns.
Before the Empire was built there was a house with gardens, I know photo’s exist of that house. Along bridge road between that house and Tower Street is a longer stretch than people realise and among buildings fronting bridge road were two entrances to the Castle Brewery it was behind the fish houses tripe factories and housing on Castle Gate.
There was a main building then smaller buildings with a yard between them probably the brewery proper and storage that is a guess. The exit from the yards were onto Bridge Road.
Some more buildings on Bridge Road and then you come to Tower Street and the Co-op Jam Factory was a separate building on the north side of Tower Street the jam factory was a free standing factory with back yards that separated it from the brewery. The Gazette Office was on the corner of Tower Street and Bridge Road. I believe at a later date there was some brewery storage further down bridge road beyond Moat Street.
I worked for a short while at Quayside Engineering Brougham Street so did get to know the area, part of that building still survives as Atkinsons Building yard.
In the late 1940s early 50s my stepmother worked at Pumphrys in Thornaby then at the coop factory off Bridge Road . My own mother died after I was born and my dad met my stepmum and in 1955 they married.
This doesn`t look like the entrance to the Castle Brewery which, I believe, was the only brewery on Bridge Road, and was at one point owned by the North Eastern Breweries Ltd. If it has a brewery connection it may be the beer storehouse owned in the 1930`s by JW Cameron Ltd which was situated on Bridge road close to the Alexandra public house.
Co-op Jam factory – an article from Mrs G Mckittrick of Norton to the Norton Heritage Group “School leavers in the 1930s if they passed the 11plus went to Grammar school, I went to Richard Hind, until my 16th birthday and, on leaving, took any job available, regardless of ones ability. As finance precluded any academical way forward I started at the Co-op jam and preserve works in Moat Street, behind the Empire Theatre with the Gazette office on the corner. I worked a 47 hr week for 9/6d (48p) at 16, rising to 21/- (£1-05p), at 20 skilled men received £2-10-0 (£2.50p) for 52 hrs. We all took the sweet smell of sugar and fruit home on our clothing and hair. Mrs Mckittricks story of life in the area 1930s /40s is on fredericknattrass.org.uk click “About Us”
My mother used to work at a place called the Jam Factory on Bridge Road; I believe it may have been on the original Brewery site, next to the Empire.
My great grandfather, Thomas Henderson, retired from the Police Force about 1909 and worked as an Inspector at the North Eastern Brewery Company until his death as the result of a tramcar accident. Was this the same brewery?
I remember the Old Brewery in Bridge road,who can remember the Triumph Bus Co:, who used it for their Stockton Depot. They ran from Stockton to Sunderland,and what comfortable buses they were. Cloth seats,it was like travelling on a posh settee.
