Gosh I wish I back there right now

Many serial accidents in them books vicar,,

Born in Peterlee 62 moved 67 but always went back up to 85 then moved away and unhappy to see now 😢😢😢

I live in Peterlee now ridgemount house is not a office block anymore it's a cannabis farm couple of bad guys were arrested for it

Oh how times have changed….. 🙄

I lived in pentland close in 1980 to 1984, then after lived in London ever since. I went to shotton hall comprehensive school, my teach was Jack nicholson, mrs wallace, mr smith was my english teacher. my best friends was Aurthur wood or woody. people were poor but life was happy

Shit town now. Town centre is a disgrace and the management should be ashamed.

I lived in Peterlee from 1959-1970, (5-15 years old) then we moved to Canada. It was wonderful to watch this video, it brought back a lot of memories for me. I lived in Manor Way.

Please can you click the link of when i was on itv news. All i want to is bring awareness of how dangerous the sea can be on the coast. To the parents and grandparents who watched me on itv news could you please speak to your children and grankids and friends about the dangers of the sea. This will save another life if we all stick together in helping the youth of today. www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2022-07-21/grandad-urges-people-not-to-swim-at-north-east-beach-after-family-tragedy

Lived in Basingstoke road, then Neville road right through the 70's. Treasured memories. I loved it back then. Moved south but I'll take it to my grave 👍

the death of the colliery villages that surround peterlee have led to its downfall.

wow wish i lived here when it was like this

Lived there from 76 to 83ish. Went to North Blunts & Shotton Hall... Happy days

Those photos of very old wow

I was born there i had good times

I miss growing up there with my mum a nd dad

1.27 Rob Parker, Good man R.I.P Rob,

Born there 1961. Left in 1972. Clearest memory is walking down into Horden for Saturday morning pictures. Mayhem. Kids loved it.

Looks like the end of what was once a nice town.

I grew up there had great times

Wouldn’t live there for free it’s a shit tip.

Absolute shit hole.

Peterlee will not improve, don’t have much faith in the town council.

Can I repost this please I was born there in 1968

Dam I remember this I played the nick in them houses in the early eighties

It will take a good and strong council to get peterlee back to where it should be, no chance.

Rob Parker drinking a yard of ale, R.I.P Rob.

Is anyone here from 2019 peterlee now is bad and I am 11 years old so this gives me idea to look at it now it makes me want to cry some pictures are still the same from now don’t mind me I am a girl

I’m writing this from 2019 and it looked soo much better back then like I never even knew there used to be a pond down the back of vibe

Any body Remember Gamecock pub and Norseman hotel a think its Peterlee Lodge now..

R.I.P

Peterlee the Monte Carlo of the North east. Full of Charity Shops and cheapo shops selling tat to nuggets walking around the town centre with a Mobile phone glued to one hand and in the other hand the famous greggs Pasty.

Still a shit hole

hated it . it took away all the places we kids used to play. was there at the beginning am in my seventies now still dislike it

Lived there in the 70s great place great people.

Sadly yet another town that has gone to rack and ruin. Never mind at least it has a Club 3000 Bingo (But wait that is shite also)

Thanks for the video. I'm from Peterlee and until the past few years always lived there (and still did in 2009 when this was uploaded). It isn't actually that bad for crime and what not compared to the city I live in now (Sheffield). With regret however I had to move away to find career progression, which is a shame as it is too easy to slate it, when in reality, it is a pretty decent and safe town.

thanks for the nice comments

I wasn't alive when it was like this but it looks so much better than it is now..

l like it back then

Nice music.

Nice to see a town named after me

Lived in Easington but spent most of my spotty youth in Peterlee. Went to the Grammar Tech, spent many happy hours in the youth club, and it was there I met the first love of my life. Unfortunately, she didn't feel the same because she dumped me after about 3 months. Happy days. :)

Nice 1

Peterlee, like so many new towns, could have been so much better than it is. It's a shame so much of it was built in the 60s and 70s - the era that architecture forgot.

I knew the queen visited peterlee! She stayed in my old street Avon Road for a bit. I've been alive 13 and have lived it all in peterlee. It needs to go back to the old ways. They look better and like it has more room and places to go. Shame. I have been living there from 2000 to 2013 and nothing has got better. It's all crap. There is nothing to do. It's so boring now. Wish it was as fun as the old days

there were 2 escalators. One in the middle of town, near where Greggs is now and one round the back where doggetts was. Neither of them ever worked.

Pity the people more than anything make it a shithole.. what happened to the way were all brought up......
