Taken looking along Stockton Street towards Church Square, the only recognisable building is in the  far distant middle of the picture and is the clock tower  of Binns/Wilkinsons. All other buildings were demolished  to make way for the College of Further Education on the right and Middleton Grange Shopping Centre on the left.

The photo will have been around 1964.

The photo was from a photographic record of the Central Area of West Hartlepool prepared in 1955/6 at the request of the Town Planning and Redevelopment Committee 'in the hope that it will be of interest to future generations of West Hartlepool'  

The record focuses on areas which were within the next ten years to be completely redeveloped following The Max Lock Plan. It was compiled by WL Taylor and photographs developed by Thomas Clarkson Chemist of Tower Street.

Looking along Stockton Street, Alfred Street is on the right and on the left at the end of the terraces is Binns. The railway water tower is visible. On the wall in Alfred Street is an advert for the Lex cinema.
