NOSTALGIA

MERHABA ALL
BAD DAY ON THE WEATHER FRONT...ME AND SHARON HAD A TRIP INTO TOWN..
THEN WENT TO THE MUSEUM..SOME EXCELLENT TRIVIA ABOUT THE "OLD DAYS"
THIS PAINTING..VIEWED FROM CHRIST CHURCH TOWER..(BLIPPED BY A BLIPPER MORE THAN ONCE)..IT PORTRAYS CHURCH STREET..WHEN HARTLEPOOL HAD A THRIVING INDUSTRY..THE BACKGROUND HAS CHANGED CONSIDRABLY SINCE THIS PAINTING (NEW MARINA).. CHURCH STREET IT`S SELF STILL HAS MANY OF THE BUILDINGS SEEN IN THE PAINTING...STILL STANDING..ALTHOUGH MANY HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO PUBS..WINE BARS..NIGHTCLUBS..ETC..
THE BUILDING ON THE LEFT WAS..THE SMITH & GRAHAM SOLICITORS OFFICERS...(SURE IT STILL IS)..THIS IS ONLY A SELCETION OF THE PAINTING..
TO THE LEFT PORTRAYS THE WOOD YARDS AND THE DOCK AREA..WHICH AGAIN HAS BECOME PART OF THE MARINA..YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE THE WHOLE PAINTING TO APPRECIATE THE PROGRESS (FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD) THAT HAS CHANGE THIS PART OF THE TOWN OF "HARTLEPOOL"
(YOU CAN FIND ME MOST DAYS AT THE TOURIST INFORMATION DESK...HA HA ..FORGET THAT BIT..ONLY JOKING...I HAVE A BETTER JOB WITH MORE INFORMATION TO DELIVER HA HA.. BETTER STOP OR I`LL BE HERE ALL NIGHT)
