And we are hoping to jog your memories with another selection of photos of town streets from decades gone by.
They all come courtesy of the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service and we thank them for a wonderful collection of reminders.
So take a look at Arch Street, Catcote Road, Clarke Street and Pilgrim Street. There’s Seaton Lane, Swainson Street and plenty more besides.
Join us as we travel around town.
