It’s the time when they had their first ever pint. But can you remember where you had yours in Hartlepool or East Durham?
Was it a town centre favourite like the Emporium or Bar Paris.
Was it a hostelry further out of the town centre like the McCorville or the Hourglass?
Or maybe that special tipple happened out of Hartlepool in somewhere like the Eden Hill in Peterlee.
Take a look at our 15 choices – some former pubs and some still with us – and see if yours is there.
1. The Hourglass in 2009
Here is the Hourglass in Eaglesfield Road. It was a favourite local for many but was it the place of your first pint? Photo: LH
2. The Station Hotel
This Seaton Carew favourite was open until 2010 and you would find it on Station Lane. Did you have your first pint there? Photo: LH
3. The King Oswy
We said goodbye to the King Oswy around five years ago but many people will remember the 'off door' at the side and the Thursday disco. Do you remember it as the place of your first pint? CATCHLINE HM1908KINGOSWY Photo: LH
4. The Powlett in 2005
The Powlett had a distinctive shape and a prominent position on a main road into Hartlepool. The site has been converted into shops but some of you will remember it especially as the place of your first pint. Photo: HM
