Hartlepool History Then & Now

What we know about this image :

Taken in 1963, looking down Ouston Street from Park Road. On the left is St John's Presbyterian Church and Yuill's Offices in Villiers Street. Note the coalman's lorry parked in the street. The first shop on the parade of shops on the right was a coal office (Ben Cox?)

The Grand Hotel can be seen in the background. This street became one entrance to Middleton Grange Shopping Centre before the church was demolished in 1985 and it is interrsting to compare it with Ouston Street Then (2)
