What were the shops like on Park Road in the past? What about the houses? How about the cars and the fashions?
We have it all and more in this spotlight on the street which comes to us courtesy of the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service.
You might remember Todds the printers. Or how about Ewart Parsons petrol station or Pierce’s opticians.
It’s all in our retro feature. Take a look.
