In Den Helder, Netherlands we are restoring a former steam/sailing gunboat of the Netherlands Navy the “Bonaire”. She was launched in 1927. Her iron or steel deckbeams were made by Hopkins & Co, Middlesbro. The characters are rolled in relief on the beams. If you are interested I can send you some photos.
Do you know some facts about the Hopkins plant?
Best regards

I’m trying to remember a story from probably the early 1980’s. A local guy, Brian Alfred (?) who owned or ran Sound it Out record store in Stockton. He went on a long and convoluted motorcycle ride on a whim and ended up out in the middle East somewhere (I think!)
Not too sure of the full details but would love to reacquaint myself with the story again. There was a Gazette piece on him at the time when he finally resurfaced. Anyone remember?

Can anyone tell me what my brother Fred Baldwin got the Victor Ludorum for in the Senior School, when I went up to Senior School I saw his name on it.

Hi all, I moved to Thornaby when I was little as my Dad came from here, He is David (Charlie) Ingram. We would like to contact Terry and Joan Mulgrew, My mam (who has sadly passed away in September 1999) and dad use to be good friends with Terry and Joan, but lost contact when they moved away. They had 2 sons. If anyone knows them, would you ask them to contact me please. By the way, I didn't know Thornaby was this interesting till I came to this site.
