Stockton Scouts

This parade was probably to celebrate either St. Georges Day or Rememberence Sunday c1953/54. The first picture of the marching scouts shows them passing the Odeon, which is showing the film ’A Queen is Crowned’. The second was taken as they passed the Shambles. Courtesy of Dorothy Butler.

Merry Christmas from ICI 1964

These images are scans of a Christmas card which was sent to retired ICI staff in 1964. The picture shows the South Grid rail sidings at ICI. Against the factory background there are two freight trains, one steam hauled and one diesel hauled. An ICI diesel loco can also be seen. This painting once hung in the Conference Room of the Agricultural Division Process Offices at ICI. Courtesy of Norman Kidd.
