This slide purports to show Stockton Cycling Club’s 1895 racing team. As you can see the men on the bikes seem to have had their faces pasted over their original faces… very curious. Perhaps this ‘editing’ somehow was/is not noticeable when the slide is viewed through a magic lantern, it’s certainly very obvious when seen as a digital copy but it must have taken some time and effort to create this image, I wonder why it was done?

I have seen quite a few references on Picture Stockton to this particular address (1 Hartburn Lane) and several people have asked for photographs but there are none at all that were so I though I’d upload this, although it shows almost none of the building it was at least taken within the grounds, in the back garden just near the rear door.

This was in 1981 when the building was derelict following a fire, it had previously been a care home. Three of those seen in the photograph were ‘residents’ from there at the time (Linda, Debbie and a lad whose name eludes me… the other chap is my old mate Keith who I think some might recognise as he was quite well known).

The first photograph was taken in mid 1930’s and shows my mother Frances Wilson (nee Dunnill) sitting on the front doorstep of 97 Lawson Street, the carved detail seen on the door frame is interesting.

The second photograph is my grandmother Lily Dunnill (nee Bruce) at the rear of the house and the third is my grandfather Stan Dunnill and dog in the alley, I believe these were taken in the 1950’s.
