A collection of photographs of another former Stockton pub – The Brunswick on Yarm Lane, Stockton. While I was taking these photographs I started talking to a chap who was passing by and he remembered it as The Brunswick. He also remembered that the large red door led to what was the 21 Club. I always remember this as The Birds Nest. October 2013.

This photograph was taken around 1962/63 behind the flats at the bottom of George Street which was just after the National School. It shows me and my cousin Margaret Regent. In the distance you can just make out the flour silo.

This is the sign marking the entrance to the Blue Post Yard. It got its name from the two posts of Frosterley marble that stood at the entrance to numbers 8 and 9 Main Street – as the High Street was then known. These two adjoining properties were owned by two brothers, Rowland and William Burdon. It is thought that Rowland aquired the posts from the demolition of Stockton Castle in the 1660s. They were used to support a ‘fine gable’ that was built at the front of the two properties. The houses were demolished in 1811 and replaced with No.116 High Street.

Viewed are Hadrian Caravans Ltd and we believe Turnbull and Sons Steel Merchants. Is that the road bridge of the A66 in the distance?
