[@blenkinso]

Thank you for sharing your video, I moved away in 1968 and miss my home town, if you have anymore would love to see them.

[@DurhamTelly]

Pleased that you enjoyed! There a several other Spennymoor videos and post card slide shows at my channel. Enjoy!

Seeing this brings back memories, we used to own the little Indian restaurant opposite the night club on the high street, we used to live in Grasmere road and i can remember going the Spennymoor Grammer school which i have just seen was demolished in 2015... what a shame such a great school.

Hi, I can remember the Indian Restaurant, nice food too. Spennymoor has changed the Nightclub, The Top Hat is now no-longer, it's being converted into a dance studio. The Kingfisher is next to be demolished and replaced with a new Aldi Store, the world continues to evolve, we don't stand still.!

@@DurhamTelly can you tell me the name of the little Indian restaurant to settle a debate? 😅

[@DurhamTelly]

Petwise has been closed for years. The same shop sign still remains. Recently the famous bakery had to close. Sad times for the small independent businesses.

[@DurhamTelly]

Times are rapidly changing and so is Spennymoor.

[@CinemaMusic55]

True, sadly.

How Times Have Changed From a Great Market and great shopping to this

[@DurhamTelly]

Here is one of my earlier vids, which is strangely receiving many views from around the globe at the moment (KZbin is great for that). I shot footage in my home town of things that I knew would change, then I had to wait twenty years to share the video. I have more footage shot at the same time and plan to do make some more in due course.?

[@DurhamTelly]

Thanks for taking the time to comment,I have a other footage of Spennymoor from that time to sort one day, this is one of my earlier videos so a little rough compared to much of my newer vids. Spennymoor has lost most of its character, the future looks bleak but I could be wrong?

[@Nickpaintbrush]

Cheers , my partner is from the Bessemer park estate in Spenny. We have been in the Vic pub and the Penny gill, shame about the shopping centre though!

[@DurhamTelly]

The shopping centre has always had empty units, since it was built. I has simply died since I filmed it in 1992.

[@killielass]

ty so much for this movie

[@DurhamTelly]

Another happy viewer, I have other footage from then that I will upload one day..?

[@mixedviews1020]

home town yayy 😁

[@TheDubster09]

the place is a dump now days half the place is boarded up n most the factory have shut or moved its a shame

[@padb1973]

Moved from sunlun to spenny in 2004, people on York hill estate were right twats to anyone new who moved in. Every shop on festival walk was open and it was a canny little town. Slowly got shitter and nearly all shops there are now gone. Jubilee park looks better since the redo a few years back. Moved just outside spenny now

[@rhiannonmia]
