Taken in 1966 the image shows the premises of F.W. Mason which was originally Proctor's Printing works in Southgate, old Hartlepool. On the left is the Fisherman's Arms which is the only building on the block which is still there and still in business. It is surrounded by modern housing. In between the two buildings was Hartlepool Working Men's Club.
