Does anyone remember Henzell Street? It was one of the streets off Norton Road. I believe it was demolished in the 1970’s.

I was born in Henzel St, Stockton Tees in Sept 26, 1930. I’m now 92 in a couple of months and live in Australia.
I lived in a home for boys at Hartington Rd. A very long time ago. The industrial depression caused most people to lose their jobs, we had to move to Back Henzel street which was little more than an alley way . We became street kids. I used to beg for pennies or halfpennies on Main Street and have pease pudding in a big marquee in the market area.

Hmmmm! I was just quoting the document but interesting that he also left two houses in other streets and called them houses so you wouldn’t think he’d be mixed up between houses and cottages.

Looking at the bottom photo you can see there was bomb damage at both ends & between the houses at the Bone St. end, we called them commons. The family who lived in the end house at the Bone St. end were called Tye & had twin boys, I believe they moved to Roseworth.

The top photo shows Dobbin Street in the background & the bottom one shows Chapmans Garage workshop at the end & the electricity place on the right. Henzell Street was the first one from Norton Road & had Thompson Street at one end & Bone Street at the other where Chapman’s workshop was. The Newbold family lived in the first house on the left bottom photo.
