2 – Level of Lustrum Beck at the Ox Bridge on Oxbridge Lane.
3 – Greens Beck in flood off Kilburn Road, Hartburn. This beck flows under Hartburn Avenue and confluences with Lustrum Beck just upstream from Ox Bridge.

Vintage car, Dovecot Street
I believe this image was taken in Dovecot Street as the car seems to be parked outside the Lit & Phil building with the Alma Hotel next door. I have dated this to the 1960s because of the clothing worn by the onlookers; trousers with turnups and head scarves were still to be seen in the 1960s. I know nothing about the car, it was most likely from 1920s at the latest, though possibly a decade or more earlier. I don’t know if it is the angle of view but the steering wheel looks to be in the middle of the car. Any ideas anybody?

Forshaws, Stockton
A photograph showing the interior of Forhaws tobacconists on Stockton High Street. The lady featured is Miss Constance Johnson (my aunt) and I would guess the photograph was taken circa 1950 (or possibly before). Her ‘boss’ was a Miss/Mrs Middlemass. The advertising notices give an insight to post-war era where smoking was very popular.
