More about this scene
This photograph shows the wide expanse of Westgate, a street typical of the old market towns in the area: there was room for animals being driven to market, market stalls, and all the people who came into town from the surrounding districts on market days. The old Town Hall can just be seen in the left foreground, and the view looks towards Middlesbrough.

This was my Dad's shop where he started his butchering business in the 1930's till, he closed in 1973. Both my brother Tom and I worked there.

My mother is no longer alive and I am on a discovery of my past so any memories any one may have regarding above would be most welcome. ...see more
This photo rings back memories of delivering meat to nursing home on a bi weekly basis, In the 1960’s this hall was used as a nursing home and my dad supplied the meat. My memories were of the heat from the kitchen, the smell of nursing home patients and the trophies shot by previous Lord Gisborough’s on their safari’s throughout the Empire. I bet that they still hang on the walls,somewhere
We used to eat at the Fox Inn on a regular basis in the 1960's. Mrs Armstrong, the owner and chef, made the best ox tail I've ever eaten . You couldn't beat Yorkshire food at it's best Great food and beer. Norman Robinson owned the newsagents next door, where I'd buy my papers
