The Auto Press and the 3Rs TV Service shops on Dovecot Street in Stockton. c1985
My father ‘Phil Sibly’ owned 3R’s TV service. It closed when he became too ill with Leukaemia and finally died in Feb 1991.
Yes Cliff that is the old Millfield House ie the Co-op Funeral home – all that block semi bulldozed. The funeral home too awaiting to be demolished as of 2011.
These two shops have now been partially demolished, only the front walls of the buildings remain.
My grandmother lived at Millfield House in 1920, where she was in service as a nanny. I would be interested to know who owned the house at the time.
And the house that is set back, on the right hand side of the photo, must be Millfield House, the site of the Co-op Funeral Parlour.
If my memory serves me right, the shop on the left was a barbers,where my mother used to take us for the regulation short back and sides. I think all the shops on this block belonged to the Co-op, and I”m pretty sure I can remember a butchers being one of them.
