Probably taken in the early 1960s, the image shows Anchor Mill(demolished 1980) on the left (later images show it without windows at street level. Betwen the mill and the advertising boards was the entrance from Stockton Street to Burbank Street. On the right in Thompson Street, the large warehouse belonged to the Co-op and this still exists as amongst other things car repair garages. The imposing Durham Paper Mill chimney, which was illuminated in red letters at night, can clearly be seen. This was demolished in 1971.

Shop for 'Gardens and pets'. Building on corner of Stockton St. & Burbank St. 'for Sale' notices in two of the windows.

Taken on the corner of Murray Street and Elliott Street, the shop sold garden supplies and animal feeds.

Foster and Armstrong Anchor Mills on the right was demolished in 1980. The  Gaumont cinema, opened in 1919 as The Picture House, is on the left of the picture.

At this time the building with the white side wall was the Fruit Market and although is now occupied by a variety of small businesses is still there today.

The areas where the lorries are parked has for some years been McDonald's restaurant and car park.
