Edited from article in North Eastern Daily Gazette June 2, 1906 entitled – “Stockton’s New Workers attempt to solve Housing Question Stockton’s New Property – Memorial stone unveiled this afternoon in connection with dwelling houses by the BSSMITWA under the auspices of the Stockton Moor and Malleable Branches. Intended for working class tenants, 2 sitting rooms, kitchen and scullery on ground floor, 3 bedrooms, bathroom and WC on next floor and yard space with outdoor conveniences. Style is modern and pleasing to the eye. Rent is 8s 9d per week. This afternoon members turned out in large numbers for the unveiling ceremony, assembling at the Leeds Hotel. Headed by Blair’s Band they proceeded to the property where memorial stone was laid by Mr J Hodge amidst applause”. Houses built in Lambton and Zetland Road under the same initiative. Wish I could find a photo of this occasion.
Interesting. I never noticed it. We lived at 151 for 20 years. Regards Eric H.
My Grandparents lived at number 106 Durham Road and I must say I don’t remember this. Why was it erected there ?
clasper, we lived opposite 100/102, at 133, over the road, for about 9 years, we could see the plaque OK, not so easy from the your gran’s side.
Bill – Did you know my Grandparents, they were Jessie and George Lee
