Bishop Auckland

[@Timknight1946]

Love this place, lived there for 12 years (2001-2013) and loved every minute of it. Best years of my life. Fabulous, friendly people, great pace of life, made so many good friends, and many of the places shown still exist. Oh to turn the clock back.

My Fathers side of the family would recognise a lot of those photographs from my Grandparents up, As far as I know the family lived in Surtees Street and my Aunt once ran The Three Tuns in Bondgate, And my Grandfather worked down the nearby mine, It’s lovely to see the places as they would have known them thank you.

Love my home town with a passion. Brilliant place to grow up in and loads of lovely people. Such a shame to see it now. Some great memories.

I live in Manchester ,but I used to visit my nana and grandad who lived on George street near the doctor’s tunnel in the 60s&70s

In the 1960s and 70s Bishop had such a good high street sad now. There were individual shops as I grew up I loved Holdens at the top of Newgate Street. Would have hoped that Kynren would have helped bring some better shops and cafe's.. I opened the Georgian Window gift shop in Durham in 1981 but I grew up in Bishop Auckland
