  10. I am originally from Thornaby, now living in Northumberland, and I am in the process of planning a model railway centred around Thornaby Railway Station, the bridges, branch lines etc circa 1960’s, my boyhood era. I’ve looked at many of the pictures in the archive to help me to construct the buildings etc to as close as possible how they looked in the 1960’s. But I would like to know if there is an active archive that can be viewed to search more quickly through pictures i.e. in Stockton library? I visit the area frequently as my immediate family still live in Thornaby and Ingleby Barwick and it would help me tremendously if there were such a viewing point. Kind regards, Neil Llewellyn.

    • Look at the Stockton 1899 Maps, Lawson Street is off Yarm Lane. It was a long street from Dovecote Street to Yarm lane. All that is left after being flattened then rebuilt on is the Medical Centre and the Chapel on the corner of Lawson Street and Yarm Lane. Hope this helps

      • Hello and sorry for the late reply. I worked for Cleveland transit at the time and remember the accident well. I believe it was late 73 and was due to a crane being left on the roundabout with the end of its jib overhanging the road during A19 construction. The 41/42 service from Middlesbrough to Billingham unfortunately collided with the jib which was not visible in this peak time november (I believe) tragedy

          • I was injured on that bus. Facial lacerations. I got on the bus with Ann Simpson who sustained slight injuries and Janet Willetts who unfortunately died. A big episode in my life. I was 16.

      • Yes my late father was in it, it was a Beeline bus taking ship yard workers to Haverton Hill and onto Smiths dock, South Bank, some of the men were to go onwards to start fitting out ships for the Falklands, the bus over turned and I believe two killed. ICI teams on scene first, cops in my opinion were disorganized. We lived on Winterbottom Ave, Hartlepool, my mother saw police come to a house over the road mid morning and her husband soon after, it wasn’t until around the time my father was due home the woman over the road told her what had happened, soon after that I arrived home. At that time I was in the RAF on X1 sqn RAF Binbrook, I saw the crash on the lunch time news, I told my boss and he said contact the police, the police said no not involved, so I contacted North Tees Hospital and they said yes he was there but gave no details. I went off to the boss with the info, Pete my boss said see if the RAF will get you home, na big joke, no help at all, so bag on my back and on foot with my thumb out, first bit of luck when a taxi driver stopped and told him my story, get in I will get you sorted, he was heading back to Scunthorpe, my head was spinning. Sorry for long story, so the taxi driver drops me at Brigg M18 and said wait there someone will come, I didn’t know he had a CB, a HGV stops, ‘you Paul? get in I will drop you on the M62 A1 and someone will be waiting’. Thanks to so many HGV drivers and the taxi driver I was home just after my mother had got the news, no thanks to the police or the RAF, oh you may say why knock the cops, my father carried five types of ID including a driving licence he had done many jobs time served as a shipwright, officer onboard ship [joined the company he launched a ship for] and after coming out of the Merchant Navy could not get a decent job and became a copper until he could get back to shipbuilding in 1970s, there was no excuse for police for not informing my mother of the accident, my father was critical, had a heart attack pulling one of the lads out of the wreck. Unfortunately not the end of the story. I got a visitor at the door it was my fathers GP, he informed me I had been posted AWOL, nice. I went back on the Monday and told by the engineering office you’re on a charge, ‘ok’ I said my old mans solicitor wants all the details, hour later I was told the charges had been dropped. The police were still insisting my father was not involved in the accident, what gets me is the police got his name wrong, but not the address so what stopped them from informing my mother. My father was not able to work again due to his condition after the crash, this was due to damage to the area around his hips, my father Vic died of cancer four years ago in Sunderland he missed his job, his work mates and the amazing ships he had helped to build on the Tyne, Wear and Tees.

  19. I was born at 30, Lawson Street on 5th January 1953 and I am trying to figure out how and why?
    All I know is my mother was travelling down from Scotland, having visited my father who was stationed there and she went into labour prematurely on the train. Somehow she ended up at the above address. I’ve always assumed she was taken in by a kindly resident but sadly she is no longer alive so I can’t ask her. I wonder if any of your viewers would have any information?
    Her name was Jean, 23 years old, and she would have been heavily pregnant and travelling with a 3 year old called Russell.

    • Reg, according to the old electoral registers held in Stockton library in the years 1952/1953/1954 30 Lawson street was occupied by Clifford Hunter, in the same years number 31 Lawson street was occupied by Ivy and WIlliam Fenwick. In a register dated 1938 the Kings Head public house was stated as being No 31, I mention this as when I heard you on the radio you mentioned being born in this pub. Is there a possible connection with the above named people and your parents?

  34. Can anyone tell me what became of R. Durham haulage, also F&F Robinson and lastly Peacock Haulage. Durhams lived in Portrack, I think, Robinsons were on Yarm Road and I don’t know where Peacocks were, but they had a fleet of mainlt Mk.14 Seddons. Over to you, chaps.

    Reply ↓

    • Bob Durham is a Haverton Hill lad, I have a school photo of his class in my collection, in common with many hauliers he started with either a horse and cart or a handcart, his last depot was on the Cowpen Trading Estate, Bob lived on Darlington Back Lane just round the corner from the Mitre pub, and one of his sons lived in Leven Road in Yarm, when I was working as an auto electrician I used to meet up with his electrician at the trade shows organised by the Lucas company.

      I believe Durhams were taken over by a larger company but I don’t know which.

      A friend of mine, Reg Peachy, drove a Mk11 Atkinson for Durhams and the noise from the engine affected his hearing so badly he was almost totally deaf, the rattling from the wood framed doors was almost as noisy as the engine, they were in fact a terrible thing to drive.

      I remember seeing F&F Robinsons vehicles around the area but I know nothing of Peacocks but I do remember the Seddon trucks as I have repaired many of them in my time, I had twenty tears of working on commercial vehicles and covered just about every make, from a 1930s Crossley up to the Dafs, Volvos, Scanias etc. of the 1980s, an extremely interesting time, I had to give it up as working outside in the winter was taking its toll, my wife remembers me coming home after a particularly arduous day rewiring a Poclain digger in freezing conditions on the Redcar steel site and saying “This is a young mans game”.

      Did you see the photo of the Durham skip wagon I posted on this site a while back?. https://picturestocktonarchive.wordpress.com/2016/11/22/r-durham-sons-skip-wagon-c1960s/

        • Henry peacock is as far as I know is still on the road more likely his Grandsons, they have a place on the Bishopton back lane and I have often seen two or three trucks there. He started on Portrack Lane long before the war when there were quite a few Haulage Contractors with their own trucks my Father being one of them and another Stan Grey. Billy and Tommy Pollard drove for Henry and they were all friends helping each other load or unload while they waited.
          Bob Durham was a late comer who was a coal merchant with a horse and cart living in Haverton Hill I went to the house a couple of times, Dad had his first truck in 1931-2 as did Stan Grey, Robinsons and Peacocks, Bob Durham got a truck in the run up to the war and Billy Barnes was his first driver.
          The war made many of them as they were all employed moving material to build Roads Aerodromes and Barracks, I still have visions of the truck being winched up Burk Brow by the Steam Roller tipping the Tar-Mac and then back down I used to get out and walk. One big contract was steam coal, nearly every Factory in the area had coal fired boilers that worked the belt driven machines. We took loads to Brompton Cotton Mill, Vom Pie Factory at Leeming Bar and many of the local Works.
          Bob had a name as a hard man you had to be to rise from a horse and cart to millionaire but he was a Gentleman who kept his word as he did with my Father. Once on leave I was in the Garage when Gordon said come on I will give you a driving test, we jumped in a short wheel base Bedford and off we went, getting back he told his Dad I was not bad so Bob said are you driving in the Army? “Err yes” Scammels Leyland six wheelers, American Mack tank transporters and Diamond “T’s” do you want a job he asked.

          • Thanks for the info on Peacocks. The reason I asked was about 60 years ago a friend and I were going to cycle down to Sheffield but I bust the gears on my bike and had to put it in single freewheel which would have made things difficult. So my dad Bill Russell was foreman of the fettling yard at Davy & United at Haverton and he fixed us up with a lift, bikes included, to Davies at their Darnal works in Attercliffe Road, and then a return ride back a week later. The return trip was quite an event as the truck was empty and it simply flew back. I was about 15 years old at the time and was well impressed. Thanks again.

  35. My mother Florence May Elsworth was born in 1932 in Stockton union workhouse. I have been trying to obtain any details. She lived in Buxton Street, Stockton.

    Reply ↓

    • Hello Albert, I hope that the following information may be of interest to you.
      The Stockton workhouse contained a hospital, which provided maternity services. So it is quite possible that your grandmother had a short stay in that hospital part of the workhouse whilst she gave birth to your mother. The fact that she was born in the workhouse does not mean that the Elsworth family was penniless.
      The birth registration records show that your grandmother’s maiden name was Watts. A search for children born in Stockton to Elmsworth and Watts in the 1930s shows the following births –
      Florence May Elsworth 1930
      Florence May Elsworth 1932
      Robert W Elsworth 1934
      George H Elsworth 1937
      I have not been able to find a registered marriage for Elsworth and Watts.
      Giving the two girls the same name suggests that the one born in 1930 had died in infancy.

  41. Hi everyone, I’m trying to find out any information no matter how small about my dad. His name was Geoffrey Bullock and he passed away in September 1964. I believe he was in an orphanage when he was younger. He had a sister called Mablethorpe whose married name was Boughren from Billingham I think. My dad was in the Navy at some point. He worked at the ICI and we lived at 40 Scanbeck Drive in Marske. Although I was 8yrs old when he took his life I have no memory of him at all. It would be amazing if anyone knew or remembered him. I have also tried to find his obituary on line to no avail. Thank you for taking time to read this.

My father took me to see it as a little boy. I have never forgotten going and the thrill of standing looking into the driving seat. Does anyone else remember this event. I think the year would be about 1934. My pal Keith Dixon also of Grantham Road – parents had the Bairswear and wool shop in Norton High Street. Mr Dixon must have been related to Freddie Dixon the famous racing driver whose garage Mr Dixon bought post war,also on Linthorpe Road almost opposite the Park gates.

Last year in 2017 I bought an adult pedal trike from a factory in York. They also do a version which is called ‘an ice cream trike’… although tradesmen also sold other stuff door to door way before the days of supermarkets. Italian ice cream was (and still is) very popular.

    • Hi I was born in Redmire Road which leads on to Spennithorne Road, in 1949, so spent a lot of time as child in the immediate area, not leaving there until 1975. As kids we spent most of our playtime playing games in the roads around the estate, (no traffic apart from the rag and bone man with his horse and cart and the dustbin cart). Spennithorne Road was a favourite in the winter after snow as with it being on a good slope was ideal for sledging or in the summer great for getting up speed on our home made go-carts. Many happy bruised memories of a childhood on a lovely estate.
