Cottages are being demolished in Northgate (pictured) and Patten Lane, Guisborough. The old stone-built cottages, with their red pantile roofs and chimney stacks built of small bricks, lent an air of former years to the town. Two of the cottages scheduled for demolition are still occupied, but their occupants are just waiting for the alternative accommodation from the council. 12th October 1959

Cottages Demolition Derelict Empty Guisborough Historic History Market Town Buildings And Structures
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as cottages are being demolished in Northgate and Patten Lane, Guisborough. These old stone-built cottages, with their charming red pantile roofs and chimney stacks made of small bricks, were remnants of a bygone era that added character to the town. Sadly, progress has deemed them unfit for preservation. In this snapshot from October 12th, 1959, we see two of these cottages still occupied despite their impending fate. The residents patiently await alternative accommodation provided by the council. It is a poignant reminder of the changing times and the sacrifices made for urban development. The image evokes nostalgia for a simpler time when these historic buildings stood proudly amidst Guisborough's market town landscape. Now derelict and empty, they serve as witnesses to the passage of time and hold stories within their walls. As we gaze upon this photograph from the 1950s, we can't help but reflect on how our towns have evolved over the years. Memory Lane Prints allows us to delve into our collective past through images like these – capturing moments frozen in time that tell tales of resilience, progress, and change.
