Halfpenny's Shop in Middlesbrough
« on: Sunday 13 August 17 20:52 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I am hoping for a long shot here. I am trying to find out the address of my late aunty Hilda and uncle Alf's shop in the Linthorpe area of Middlebrough. I recall visiting there as a child. I know that they moved prior to the passing of my aunty in 1970. I recall it being close to the old Middlebrough football club stadium (Ayresome Park) and on a street corner. Does anyone remember its exact location?

Best regards
Kevin Ferguson
Numbers 6:24-26
Ferguson, Stockton-on-Tees
Hollinshead, Stafford/Guisborough
Pratt, Berwick/Newcastle-upon-Tyne
McDonald, Teesdale
Charlton, Hexham
Carlyle, Hexham/Annan Dumfries

Can you remember what sort of shop it was?

A general store type corner shop. I don't recall if it was an off licence or not though.

The 1964 phone book (at Ancestry) lists the following:

Halfpenny A & H, Gen Dlrs, 39 Bow St, Middlesbrough (with a phone number that is probably no longer correct)

This looks like it on Google Street View: http://www.rootschat.com/links/01kjf/
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson
