A view of the Wellington Inn on Durham Road, Wolviston. December 1983
Could this possibly be Sir Frank Brown and his family in the early 1900s? I believe the driver of the tram is Mr G.E. Sedgewick.

From being remote from the annual Remembrance Sunday ceremony for many years, to being recognised and sponsored by Akzo Nobel of the Netherlands, formerly Imperial Chemicals Industries, the Billingham ICI War Memorial on Station Road has now become prominent in the day’s commemoration. Stockton Borough Council kindly had its green algae-ridden surface cleaned to reveal a clean finish not seen since its removal from Chilton House which was just outside the ICI West Gate. The monument which remembers one hundred and forty ICI employees who made the ultimate sacrifice during world war two, has attracted not only the now annual wreath of Akzo Nobel, but from private individuals with their own thoughts of those no longer with us.

Many of you may remember my sister Joan Barber licensee of the American Tavern in Mill Street and her husband Geoff. These photographs show Joan doing a ‘Great Sleep In’ in aid of Muscular Dystrophy in the Debenhams window during the early 1970s.

I took this photograph from the roof of the Spencer Hall Market in June 2013 and it might make an interesting comparison with the post entitled ‘Stockton High Street, Winter 1986’ which was added to Picture Stockton recently.
