Having been closed for quite a long time this shop recently reopened, now trading under the name of Sydney Street Food Store. It’s good to see the old Taddy Ales & Samuel Smiths sign remains in place.

I lived in Bute Street and my bedroom looked out on Sydney Street and Dillons. Great shop in the years after the war as they were generous in exchanging sweets for the coupons in my ration book!
Trevor and brother David with Colin Russell, Alan Hall, Brian Leak, John Noble and a few others from Mill Lane school made up the 2 steps gang. Football and cricket was played in the back street streets and California street when it was free of the cattle trucks going into the Co-op slaughter house!!
I access this site from my home on the Gold Coast in Australia for photos of the past so I can show my children and grandchildren what Stockton was like in the good old days as I have no photos of those days myself.

The shop was called Dillons after the second world war and then I think in the late fifties became Walkers.

Walkers were my relations Jim, Flo and Elizabeth their daughter.

And I remember them well, they were all at our house for a drink on my 21st birthday in 1967
