It seems to me as well that Lear could have been a really good spy for the British Empire - collecting information on the Ottoman Empire. LOL

Fantastic series - but I only discovered it yesterday! Deserves way more views and comments. I especially like parts around Lake Prespa - I've eaten at the same restaurant in Brajchino several times going as far back as 20 years ago when the village tourism started. My father is from a nearby village - the last village toward the border with Greece. My mom is from Bitola, so I also enjoyed that part as well - she's Vlach actually, as many are in Bitola. Thank you for doing this - something for the benefit of all humanity.

Thank you so much for this.

Me and my mates had a lemonade stand down here a couple weeks ago

I can remember as a child the shift change buzzers and all the men marching down Westbury street with their boots and bait bags. It was the norm and I thought it happened everywhere, I kinda miss them sights and sounds.

Nice & awesomes Dokumentations "pigeons ..... 👉🌍 👍👍

I had a brake fade in an RAF Bedford RL, towing a trailer loaded with 8 diesel generators on a hill in Cornwall, scared the crap out of me, I sat on the grass verge for half an hour until it had cooled down a bit, shaking like a leaf ,happy days.

In Russia, they also know and love the work of Edward Lear! his poems are read to children in the translation of Russian poets. and my friends and I recently made a film about Edward Lear's Egyptian travels! it can be seen on the Senmuth channel!

Jeez, being born in 2002 n seeing this compared to what boro is now

Simple solution ! Put in speed humps to slow speed approaching bridge !

So lovely to see this. My Nan was in it and so happy to see as she no longer with us and I get to hear her voice again. Thank you

Little lad with wellies on in rain I wore mine in the summer

My nana Carrie and Albert thomas grandad had the wet fish shop in westbury street . My dad derek and grandad Joe spacey worked head wrightsons . My mam was a print finisher in Stockton. I grew up in Thornaby left at 21 years old. I still love going home to see my family. It’s always home 🏠

Very moved to watch this. The bridge is heroic! I remember one open studios, he had a knee high canvas leaning against his closed door (no entry), I was puzzled, not until his death do I get to learn 'who is this man?' An amazing gift of love to honour all the work he left behind, his legacy.

Which council is responsible for this road. People still dying. The council is responsible

Why isn't there any warnings or speed bumps approaching this bridge

I don't understand why only some buses have seatbelts

Loved these. Thankyou.

You forgot about the dock yard bus incident

When I watch films such as these I become so angry at how our country was ruined by a bunch of self-serving Conservative buffoons who ruined so many decent people´s lives.

Fantastic film; thank you to all those people for sharing their memories and feelings.

Anybody remember Bowley Street? I spent a lot of time there with my grandparents when I was little.

I'm a Thornaby lass from Lansdowne Rd now living in Derbyshire. Both parents were Thornaby through and through. One was 2A Diamond Rd the other from 146 Redcar Rd. Both now gone but never forgotten. A part of Thornaby will always be with me in my heart ❤️

I love her fashion sense ,very artistic from top to toe.....🥰

She's the best

Really enjoyed this thanks. :-)

Sure this wasnt filmed during the blitz?

Very artistic and atmospheric.

My 1st year apprenticeship was at the Training Centre - almost 100 of us from all over Teesside - an awesome experience

No idea why. Grand union is absolutely despicable. Legitimate concerns of asbestos, damp and blockages are ignored constantly for months or years. People literally have asbestos and are forgotten. Anything that is called a coop is rotten from the top down.

Lived in Edith Street, left early 74 to work in Shetland, came back in summer of 75 to find our house empty and smashed up, they had moved to near Albert Park.....before the days of house telephones ( mail only to communicate)......people just wouldn't get it these days....we didn't have much but overall we were happy...

Does anyone know what year this documentary was filmed ? TIA

Tough times we all got it so much easier now

What happened to Byng inspired many other officers. Regretably not Percival of Singapore.

That felt like I'd just been dragged through some apocalyptic nightmare 😵‍💫

I was only 4

Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... I'm a Nana now but doesn't anyone else crave how life use to be... Middlesbrough my home & always will be... The best years of my life yet we had nothing worth bragging about...We where all equal back then...

I am really glad i found this Top man Rod Adams and a good friend

Good old Thornaby in the 1960

This is a fascinating interview with someone I have read a great deal about. His father R. Thurston Hopkins was a well-known writer, though few biographical details exist about him. I have only ever seen one photo of him though he was well regarded, especially for his books on ghosts.

Lol is this what the GREAT - an GOOD get up to on a weekend. . Sorry but looked at with a sensible microscope. It’s utter B S .. a bunch of blue bloods with 50 million pounds estates whining about summold bloke who Whipped many poor sailors to death by his VERDICTS. . 200 lashes was a basic death sentence ! What with infection etc. this admiral was a brutal man and my basic research. Showed that he had 3 men whipped into death and five men hanged. He was not a nice man. . He was a brutal paranoid little man. . Not known for anything. Legally maybe he was a scape goat for a failing navy. But MORALLY HE WAS A PETTY tyrant . May his soul rot innhell

Do you know how many “ total “ injustice” have been perpetrated by government/ political involvement in the legal system over the years. example. That poor simple 18yr old got hanged when it was a 17 yr old boy that shot the police man. British Legal is full of this kinda stuff. Not just the death sentence. But. This old admiral. Lawyers are laughing there socks off because this is classic monies UNDER THE WHITE POWDERED WIGGS OF ALL THE Q C AND lawyers for 258 years the British bench has sharpened its teeth on this old Bollox xx lol.

The man’s gram came to tell him goodbye.

looking at the church ,, JESUS SAVES ,, i remember ,, and Hickton got the rebound ,,

My Nana Betty Hill(Smith) was born on St Paul's road 1923 she was one of 15 kids(yes 15 all didn't live through infancy), she told loads of stories about cannon st and Newport area good and bad. I said was that right Nana you could leave your door open all the time, she laughed and said yes son only cos we had not to rob lol. Part of Boro died with Newport, and st hildas(over the border) but the Spirit lives on UTB.
