The changing face of Hartlepool and East Durham’s social life gets our attention today and it has been photographed in abundance over the years.

We are going retro with a reminder of the refurbishments which took place at favourite venues in years gone by.

Who remembers these facelifts for the Seaton Hotel, Mecca bingo and the White House?

We have all this and more so take a look and enjoy the memories.
