'Great day out!' - Readers remember fantastic times at Hartlepool Show

Do you have memories of Hartlepool Show to share?

Organised by Hartlepool Borough Council, this year's show will hark back to the good old days by adding a "modern horticultural twist" to the weekend's entertainment.

And these changes prompted some of you to take a trip down memory lane to the shows of yesteryear, held at Grayfields.

Speaking to the Mail, Coun Kevin Cranney, chair of the council's regeneration services committee, said: "I’m sure many people will fondly remember the old Hartlepool Shows which used to take place every year at Grayfields.

“We aim to re-create all of the fun of that event and much more, and we hope people turn out in force on both days."
