    Hope Street used to be great late 70's...there was Chawners down the bottom where I got a Harrington Jacket and patchwork jumper from..to go with the platform boots and white bakers...and Zeros opened up there before moving to Newcastle. .I think they were prosecuted for selling Never Mind The Bollocks etc etc T-shirts.

    I was at school then and there was no shopping centre or ring road and The Place was just round the corner in Bryant Street.

    You could walk from the top of Hope Street down then up to the top of Waterloo Road and into no-go territory (as it was) Cobridge..The American. .what a dive that was

    Hi all, I'm looking for any information on the football club Bowers United, memories, pictures, anything really, Thanks.

    P.S. Does anyone know what newspapers covered the area in the 1940's to the 60's?

    Thank you very much for your research it is really appreciated.
    I think I will re-visit my Father's very comprehensive diaries (from that era) and look for 'clues' along the lines you say! Also, I will try that GazetteLive Forum.
    You know, I wonder if he did mean Stockton? We'll see! Also, I think that this thread is having a VERY good start, don't you think? With luck, it will gradually build up to become a "reference resource" for people researching into the area, as SSC often features very highly on Google (etc) searches, so the more historical topics we cover the better
