Taken in the early 1960s, this is Anderson and Gow General Dealer on the corner of Hart Lane and Thornhill Gardens. The shop must have had a delivery service at this point as there is a bicycle with a large basket on the front out side the shop. There are five types of cigarette advertised and a large window display of Kellog's products in one window. Before 1920, the garage (later Leeming's Garage now demolished) on the opposite corner was owned by Harry Bailes who was a specialist in tractor repair. At that time, the garage was on the very edge of Hartlepool with a number of farms very close by. In 1920, he apparently bought the shop on the photo and the land next to it was a tea garden. It then became a garage supposedly having the first petrol pump in West Hartlepool. Today, both the garage and shop still exist although the garage is used for car repair and servicing.

THis building was Hart Lane Infants' School. The building was bought by the RC Church in 1901 and hundreds of children were taught there before it closed in 1934 when nearby Sacred Heart School opened. The school was on the corner of Mildred Street and Hart Lane and was later used asa garage for wedding limousines and taxis.

Taken from the North Cemetery, the streets off Hart Lane are possibly Jobson Street and Hopps Street. 

The Nursery Inn is to the left, as viewed from cemetery, on the next block down.

According to Geoff Telfer the closest building seen in the image was an off-license which his grandmother managed.

His Grandmother was called Mrs Mead (Winifred Martha Margaret - known as Winnie). Her brother, Harold Marsden, was a pianist in one of the bands which played regularly at the rink.

Mr Telfer believes the shop was part of the Cameron’s group and does'nt recall it having a name. Mrs Mead lived in the shop with her three childeren as her husband didn’t survive the war. According to Mr Telfer's mother, at one time Mrs Mead accepted a monkey from a sailor as payment and they kept it as a pet.

The image appears to be from the 1920s. On the left, in Raby Road is Howbeck Terrace and then after the shop would be Middleton Road. Hart Road Methodist Church is on the other side of Middleton Road. All buildings on the left are now demolished. Raby Road continues towards the town after the crossroads but before 1967 was called Hart Road. On the  right is the North Cemetery wall, then Hart Lane. The shops on the right are little changed today.
