Ellen Gardener, Robson Maternity Home
Attached are two photographs of the Robson maternity home. This is my mother, Ellen Gardener (Nel) who worked at the Robson for a number of years until it closed and she moved up to the then new North Tees hospital. in those days women stayed in the hospital for I think 10 or 14 days and the nurse always carried the baby out of the home and into the care of parents. The second picture, is my cousin Millie Hunt with another family. My mam is now 91, sadly my cousin Millie died a number of years ago.

Beech Street, Stockton – 1960
Peter Jordinson – This is a photo of me taken outside the house I was born in (18 Beech Street). It was taken in 1960 a few months before demolition, as you can see the other half of the street has already gone.
I wondered if anyone has any memories of the area, or even any photos. For those of you too young to remember, Beech Street stood roughly where Asdas (used to be Netto) car park now stands. (Note the Dolphin pub in the background).

Durham Road – 1983
This is Durham Road in 1983 where the old Summerville Farm now stands. It is amazing, that long before the Co-op store and the Savacentre and Tesco store afterwards, that it was a very much quieter road than it is now. The photo is looking south.
