And if we are going shopping, we will need petrol as well so we have included a filling station in this nostalgic collection.
Here are 9 photos which come to us courtesy of the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service.
Do you recognise and remember Weaver to Wearer, Matty Hart’s newsagent, Graftons and G Hughes newsagents?
We have all these and more so take a look and enjoy the memories.
