An Aerial View of Haverton Hill

Posted on by

This aerial shot of Haverton Hill shows the Furness Estate quite clearly, particularly interesting is the view of ‘The Hostel’ near to the Circle on Belasis Avenue, I believe this was built to house shipyard workers just after the First World War, I remember it being used to house Hungarian refugees after the uprising in the 1950s and it later housed light industrial units including a soft drinks company called ‘Jonco’.

It is difficult to date the photograph but there are very few cars on the roads, the bus is probably one of Stockton Corporations Leyland PD2 models which were in production from the 1930s, I used to travel by bus fairly frequently through Haverton Hill in the 1950s and I don’t ever remember the route going down Marlborough Road, I do have a photo of a bus shelter on Marlborough Road in the 1950s so maybe my memory is not up to scratch.

Marlborough Road continues away to the left towards the Furness Sports Field, at the bottom right of the photo where Marlborough Road and Collingwood Road meet you can see the roof of the Methodist Chapel, next door to the left is a flat roofed building, this was always known as ‘The Welfare’, it was where we collected our concentrated orange juice, malt, National Dried Milk and the dreaded Cod Liver Oil.

Belasis Avenue continues off to the bottom right of the photo and passes the old fire station on its left then Charltons Pond on its right then Billingham South Modern School on its right and Billingham Stores (Co-op) and the Picture House at Mill Lane end, the bus actually travelled along Greenwood Road and met Belasis Avenue at the bottom of the bridge.

At the top right of the photograph the curve of the railway line heading towards Port Clarence and the Transporter area can be seen, just before the curve a single track line branches off to the left and crosses Hope Street and continues along to the clay pit and Saltholme Farm, as children we spent many happy hours playing around this area.

I remember my father mentioning a Cinema somewhere in the area of Tees Street and The Hostel, if anybody can pinpoint it for me I shall be most grateful.

  1. Hi I was born in Ash Street. There is no place like Haverton and never will be. I worked in the crisp business for Sid Dallison.

  2. The cinema/picture house was behind the Hostel. The bus did ho along Marlborough Road into St Vincent Street and out at the bottom of Belasis Avenue near the Circle. I lived in Collingwood Road and went to St Gerard’s School on Hill 60.

  3. The Ariel photo of Haverton Hill c would date between 1950 & 1960. The houses near the junction of Rodney st & Vincent st were bombed in the war & were rebuilt about 1950. My home in the photo does not show a garage built in 1960 so this would confirm the date. With regard to the buses serving Haverton, there was a Corporation bus no. 2 & a United bus no 69 plus a Middlesbrough corporation bus no 11.

  6. Hi. My name is John Ryan and I live in Shropshire. My family lived in Haverton until we moved to Billingham in 1953.
    We continued to visit our friends in Haverton, and Jim Taylor is fondly remembered.

    The shop you were born in was a popular store and Jim knew everyone of his customer very well, and when his customers started to move to Billingham, so did he.

    He traded from a large van, covering territory old and new.

    I’m fairly sure that he moved into a mini market in Low Grange in the 60’s.

    His daughter, Elizabeth was a wonderful singer, I saw her a few times at competitions in the park and elsewhere.

    I hope my ramblings stimulate you to keep looking.

  7. That might have been a Stockton corporation bus but it could have been a Hartlepool corporation number 1 which use to go to Port Clarence as an extension beyond Seaton Carew. Plus it’s possible that the United might have gone to the Port Clarence and Haverton Hill area too?

  9. Hi.
    Could anyone help me please?
    I was born in the upstairs flat of my Uncle Jim Taylors general grocery shop in Haverton hill in 1958.
    I believe it stood in or around Belasis Avenue?
    Does anyone remember this shop or have any pictures of it?
    Most of my older family have sadly now passed and I’d love to see some of my early roots in Haverton hill.
    Thanks,

  11. I am Jim (James Robert) Elliott, my father was the second Section Sergeant (Police) at Haverton Hill in the early 1960s to be called Elliott (he is not the one who clipped people on the ear). I remember Miss Cabourn at the school and living across the road from the pop factory. There were two police houses separated by a small office. Police in those days moved every two to three years so I missed the demolition of Haverton Hill but I have very fond memories of the place, including the cinema on a Saturday morning. I also remember roller skating.

              I vaguely recollect Haverton Hills poor air quality being instrumental in your parents decision to move to Australia. A younger sister (baby) with breathing difficulties? I’m sure it was a good move and the right decision.

                  Halls & Langlands, like many, located to Billingham once demolition was well underway. My parents too eventually & reluctantly moved to Billingham but forever missed their house and times living in Haverton.
                  I very much remember Yvonne and was very saddened to hear of her passing.
                  As for me, now retired, I live near Sedgefield though suspect would still be living in Haverton were it still standing.

            • Syd Swan – I never lived in Haverton so don’t know your old neighbours but I’d like to add that the reason Haverton has ‘gone’ is that it became so polluted by factories nearby (particularly ICI) that it became a serious hazard to health – particularly in the 60’s. Some people remember filthy windows which had only been cleaned the day before – washing hung out then covered in ‘smuts’ soon after. A late elderly neighbour of mine Mary (nee Hill) Shaw who was the local midwife used to cycle to home births and told me her ‘nylons’ would literally melt on her legs because of sulphur in the air! I’ll be honest I didn’t believe her but I since found it to be true! UGH! My husband suffers from COPD because of it even though he didn’t live in Haverton – he’s from Billingham. As a child I lived in Norton and remember some days when the air would stink. My mother used to say ‘It’s only ICI’ but she didn’t realise how much harm it could do.

              • Hi Mandy, all of your comments re ICI are 100% Truth, my Family of 6 siblings and myself were all born at Haverton Hill, we lived in the ICI houses up the Hill 60, Howard Crescent, I remember my Mam always used to tell us to keep away from the Beck which was at the bottom of our estate in between the ICI and our houses, of course as kids we didn’t always listen to my Mam, and we did paddle bare foot in the beck, little did we realise that chemicals were allowed to be drained into the beck? Now I know why my Mam told us to stay away from the beck. We also breathed all that dirty polluted smog in as children, 3 of my sisters have all died with lung cancer and so has my parents died of lung cancer, I am now being tested for lung cancer, and have numerous health issues, which I blame the ICI for. I remember one time there was a huge explosion from the ICI and the whole sky was on fire, (Acid Rain) everyone went out into their gardens to see what had happened at the ICI. There were 5 streets of houses belonging to the ICI, where we lived, although it was a seriously polluted area we did have a Very Happy Childhood growing up there, we left in 1966 and moved to Tyneside as my dad got a job on the river Tyne. as far as I know the 5 streets of houses were demolished the following year, and everyone was moved to Billingham newtown.

Middle or Bottom House Mary May, also known as Mary Rayner, we lived in Sweethills before we moved up to Hill 60 Howard Crescent. We were also going to emigrate to Queensland, Australia in the 1960’s but somehow we didn’t , I think my Dad got a job on the River Tyne, so we moved to Tyneside in 1966.

      • Dear David Crawford
        As an ex gasworks man, in which a major issue in the redevelopment of such sites is pollution from tars and phenols (cf comments on the tar distillation works in view from Port Clarence Blast Furnaces) I am quite intrigued that ICI was dumping toxic waste far from their main site.

        Back in Portrack the local gasworks was dumping stuff, presumably from Stockton Gasworks, alongside the “Black Path”, just to the north of where a new gas holder was being built. These days, such behaviour from big companies would have earned a million pound fine!

  16. I was born at 39 Marlborough Road in 1939. Within months of that we moved to Billingham, 11 West Avenue where I lived until 1953 when we emigrated to Canada. My grandparents George and Ginny Randall lived, for many years after we emigrated to Canada, at 39 Marlborough Road. I had a great grandmother Waller who lived in Port Clarence well into her 90’s. I remember very well going to 39 Marlborough Road each Christmas. We used to get the bus home at the end of the street out side the church and I remember playing on a rocking horse inside the church.

  19. Great old photo, looking through the streets feels like going back in time to the different houses we lived in.
    My mother (Sheila Pearce nee Flanagan) was from the area and she married my father in 1947 and moved to his home town, High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. When my mothers father (William Flanagan) died in 1953 she wanted to move back to be near to her mother so our family moved to Haverton Hill. Initially we lived in 14 Hawke Street but soon moved to 34 Howard Crescent. I attended St Gerards school, just along from our house.
    After a few years in Howard Crescent we moved back to Hawke Street to be closer to my mothers sister. We lived in 17 Hawke Street, my mothers sister, Peggy Donnelly lived across the street at no 18. Next door to us at no15 was the Wray family with the Gibson family in no13. The Matteson family lived at our other side in no19. Across the street lived the Dobsons at no12, Mrs Dobson ran a window cleaning round that employed quite a few of the local women, for a while I used to collect the window cleaning money for Mrs Dobson. No16 housed the Teasdales, 20 the Wray family and in 22 and 24 lived the Coopers and Woods.
    With regard to the bus services passing through Haverton Hill we were very well served with transport running from the Transporter Bridge to Stockton High Street. There was a service running every 15 minutes that came along Leven Street, St Vincent Street, Marlborough Rd, Belasis Avenue to Greenwood Road and onward to Billingham, Norton and Stockton. The route was service by 2 bus companies alternating each 15 minutes. The United Bus service No 73 was the red bus and the Stockton Corporation service No 2 was the green bus. There was a further hourly service by Middlesbrough Corporation which ran a circular route going through Haverton, Billingham and Middlesbrough. This was the No 11, Blue bus which did not go through St Vincent Street & Marlborough Road but went down the full length of Belasis Ave before turning right up Greenwood Rd.
    In Hope Street there stood the Victory Hall which I believe was once a snooker hall. In later years it housed a roller skating club and a branch of the Army Cadet Force. My Father, Ivan (Jack) Pearce ran the Cadets for many years. The Cadets later moved to a new building at the end on Willow Terrace and High Clarence.
    I have many great memories of living in Haverton and looking at these old photos just unlocks many many memories.
    I have since lived and worked in many parts of the world and still consider that living in Haverton Hill to be the grounding for everything I have subsequently done.

Are you a relative of Jean and Audrey Coleman? I was very friendly with them. I am now in Canada.

    • As far as I am aware there are no Colemans called either Jean or Audrey, our family are from Billingham but I have a number of cousins I have not been in touch with for more than 50 years, any of them could have children with those names.

    • Hi Shirley, I used to live on Elm Street, and I was a childhood mate of your brother Billy, we had great times playing on the Bendy, and on the big tip near the marsh

  28. I lived in Collingwood Road until we were moved out to Billingham due to ICI pollution when I was 9 years old and I used to take my sister to the pictures I remember it being like a old church building on the corner as you turned to go to the Library in the village on the same side of road that still has the butcher shop open today. The Co-op was on the opposite side just a little way past the pictures.
