OLD CHESTER le STREET IN PHOTOGRAPH'S video Colin C

Some of the Photos I have collected over the last 10 years for my Facebook Group the History of Chester le Street. This is one of my many Chester le Street videos I have done over the years. I do them for future generations that may be interested as well as our older Generation to look back on.

I remember going to Chester le Street from Easington Colliery with my grandmother to visit her sister there in the late forties and early fifties. Loved the smell of the Horners toffee factory as we got off the bus! Sweet memories.❤😊

Fantastic, how the street has changed, and not for the better either. Do you have any pictures of Northlands being built? As the old saying goes "Happy Days "

I remember the closest bus stand was for the General and the rest were the Northern

Hey Colin, did you get your Army Surplus stuff in Owen Bros? That shop had a ton of good bargains back in the day.

[@colinthegeordiehistorian10]

I remember going in there for camping stuff it was a great little shop. Later on it moved in to a smaller shop opposite but it was not the same
