Thanks to the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service, we can share a selection of images from businesses, shops and factories you may remember. Perhaps you even worked at one of them.
There’s the match factory, Cafe Royal, Arosa, Benson and Laings at Graythorp.
Take a look and see if there is an old photo which brings back memories for you.
