This shop is situated on Oxbridge Lane opposite the post office, it has been empty for many years. The frontage of the shop looks the same now as it does in the photogragh. The tiles around the shopfront are a glazed dark green. To the right of the picture (off photo) there is currently a fenced area used for selling second hand cars.

A Pictorial History of Stockton-on-Tees
Raymond was in my year at school. My mam got her knitting supplies there. She would always amaze me as a kid, when waiting for the bus into town outside Moores, when she would announce “here’s the bus” and when I looked there was no bus – then 5 seconds later there was the bus! It was a while before I realized that she could see the reflection of it down the road in Lamplugh’s window!
I remember this shop as Lamplugh’s from attending Oxbridge lane infants/juniors their son? Raymond was in the same class as me throughout my time there from early fifties.
I remember this shop as Lamplugh’s, everyone bought wool, knitting needles, cotton, sewing needles, buttons of all sizes, could also get materials for curtains from there. I used to live in Light Pipe Hall Road till 1963 when we moved to Wren Street. There used to be all sorts of shops on Oxbridge Lane, Coop next door to this one, across road you had the Post office, Tates Newsagent and Art Gallery, Dave’s Barbers, Masons Fruit and Veg, a TV repair shop, Dodds Wet Fish Shop, there was also a chemist, sweet shop, laundrette, butchers and off licence, then on the next block was betting shop, paper shop and a ladies hair dresser.
I am sure this little shop also sold lingerie, I can recall getting what was called a ‘training bra’ in those days, am I right?
I remember this shop from my childhood, primarily as I couldn’t pronounce the name ‘Lamplugh’. How dreadfully sad that we’ll never see the likes of this shop ever again.
I used to live at 50 Osborne Road in the fifties and early sixties. My parents Mr and Mrs J Marshall and my Grandmother Elsie Mable Chapman/Bage (whose husband had owned Chapman”s Garage). My mother was a fantastic knitter and Mrs. Lamplugh”s was her local supply of knitting wool. It was a fantastic shop full of everything you needed for knitting and sewing. I would go with my mother to choose wool and buy needles etc. When I was very young we bought the wool in skeins and I had to sit holding the skeins out while my mother and grandmother wound them into balls of wool.
I lived in Eton Road as a child in the seventies and remember Mrs. Lamplugh selling wool and knitting accessories to my mam. It was gorgeous inside. Next door to it was the Co-op butcher”s and next to that the Co-op grocery store.
This shop is now a sandwich shop
Before it became derelict, this shop bore the name LAMPLUGH and sold wools. The gable end overlooking the car dealer”s yard carried the name, and noted that the shop sold hosiery among other goods. This painted sign is now illegible.
