Thank you for posting this - especially the footage of Churchill Playing Fields how I remember it - my Dad was Head Groundsman, so I spent half my life there in the 80s.

@2:10 Sadly J Scott the bakery has now closed, which is a great shame, they made some lovely cakes. The Post Office on the opposite corner closed down too, but that was many many years ago. the post box is still there .. I think

I went too school at monkseaton grammer school Great the footage of Churchill playing fields

[@iambigred]

I remember that the "school" road signs remained long after the school was demolished. They missed an opportunity to add a path through to Churchill when they demolished the building.
