Nowadays it would be text or email. Wonder if I sent in a postcard whether they would play "We can work it out' by The Beatles, the first single I ever got, quite likely bought from Hudson and Browns record shop, Coxhoe.
First LP, Sgt Pepper from Doggy Co-op.
Aye those were the days pop pickers, when Coxhoe had a record shop, ( Glenys Hall from Kelloe was the shop assistant) and Doggy Co-op had an upstairs electrical department that also sold records.
Coxhoe havin a record shop ,well wot d,ya know? and heres me travellin from Trimdon Colliery to Hartlepool (Rumbelows)to make my L.P. purchases had loads of singles -(mail order or Juke box seconds) -first L.P.-then play on by fleetwood mac-- abbey road-- led zepp.-1
Aye, some place Coxa.
Club
Fish and chip shop
Pubs
Record shop
and even a picture house.
Second only to Doggy as entertainment capital of the NE.
C'mon then Huyton you're our local historian and cameraman - how about some pics of the high street from days gone by?
I think Hudson and Browns record shop was were the chinky's is now.
I'll see what I can do Billy.
Hudson and Browns Record shop was on the site of the Coronation Press today.The electrical department was the other half of it.
The Chinese used to be Robinsons Chip Shop.
I amy have the odd photo of Coxa but no promises mind.I'm not Francis Firth.
I knew Huyton would know, him being a long term resident and local historian.
Wonder if he has any pictures of that old drapery shop that's now the coffee shop? I remember that being unchanged for years and years - perhaps some of it ended up in Beamish?
BTW, who's Francis Firth?
Aye Hoofer you old Twadler get some of your old pictures out
