It's heartbreaking to look at this amazing footage and then to see what's become of Stockton and Redcar now :'(

Redcar's fallen on hard times what with the steelworks closing down. The council wastes money trying to turn it into a modern art masterpiece to try and bring in tourism, but the place is a ghost town. Half the shops are boarded up, and the only things left on the high street are charity shops, pubs and take-aways. Stockton's doing a little bit better, it's got its own university, there are still plenty of shops in the town centre, swimming baths etc., but it looks nothing like it was then. Nowhere near as alive as in this video. But both places have massive problems with drugs and crime. But then, so does everywhere else I suppose...

Amazing to see how packed the beaches were back then. Although there's no sound this was a nice trip down memory lane.

Great video. The thing that always gets me is even those working or the market stalls would be able to afford to buy a decent house. Thats how it should have always been. Its so messed up now.

Amazing to see that in the early 60's (62-63) the vibrant trading and community gathering place, that once was Stockton on Tees's ancient weekly open High St. market (Wednesday & Saturday) still existed, Unlike today, when it has become a mere shadow of what is shown as the car accessible Shopping-Mall or Mega-market became more commonplace. Similarly, the summer-crowd scenes of once thriving Victorian seaside-resort Redcar soon disappeared as the cheap Spanish 'package' holiday with it's guaranteed sun, became widely available to everyone's rapidly increasing pay-cheque. These scenes were filmed in a North Eastern corner of England just prior to U.S.Pres.John F.Kennedy being assassinated and just as The Beatles had begun their meteoric rise to stardom in the emerging 'Swingin' London'. Arguably, some would say, on the very cusp of the old-world social order changing across the globe.
