Anybody with furthur information on Albert Clamps family would be most welcome, and from Andrew Bostock. I’m trying to show my english history to the grandkids. The Picture Stockton Team can provide you with my email address.

Seeing the name Clamp brought back memories of a girl I used to be friendly with, her name was Joan Clamp, we both went to the Lightfoot Grove Baptist Church in Stockton. I think she was also related to a Derek Bales. What happened to these people?

Taking a closer look and a guess, that the photograph seems to be taken from the Mulberry Tree side with the Talbot pub in the back ground. My only clue is the marble columns which are visible, if it”s right, then it”s Norton Road leading South to the junction of the High Street/Church Road.

This could be the northern end of the High St, where it is much narrower. i.e. in the vicinity of the North Eastern pub. In which case the open area seen in the right background would be the parish church grounds.

This is an old photo of my wifes grandparents walking, we think, down Stockton High Street although the street in the picture may look too narrow. Rita”s father Albert Clamp was born in Stockton in 1905 so the photo should be at about that time – they having moved from Motherwell just before then. My wife and her family – name of Clamp – lived at 16 Chalk Street. She moved away about 1952 but the family remained there for about another ten years – just a guess. It”s really good to see Chalk Street again and read about the shops etc.
