Much work is ongoing in Redcar and a number of buildings have disappeared in the last year or so, I thought I would capture them from Google Streetview now before they vanish from there too. I doubt any will be considered a loss to the area in years to come.
The Alderman B.O. Davies Health Centre on Coatham Road, demolished
Kwik Save on West Dyke Road, demolished
Sharky’s on the Sea Front, demolished
This one on the right has been derelict for as long as I can remember, but I believe it was once an amusement arcade, demolished
T
The Hydro, not actually demolished, but now converted into flats.
Interesting post. In a similar vein would anyone have any photographs of Blackett Hutton foundry in Guisborough, complete with railway sidings, prior to its demolition?
The loss of the Kwiksave building aloner means an overall improvement in Redcar’s architectural standards……..
Indeed, its a shame we can’t have the old church back.
Re: my earlier comment – if you put ‘Guis 1983′ into YouTube someone has posted a video that shows the Foundry. Very interesting!
How proud Hinton’s were when they built their new supermarket. Also remember signing on in Alma House above the supermarket. The Fish bar next to Sharky’s is scheduled for demolition as part of the overall expansion of the Tyne Tees arcade, the corner will eventually be a glass clad box.
Noticed another ‘blow’ to the regions architecture today. The derelict garage near Thornaby Pavillion (Tristar Nesham?) has finally been demolished.
Tears will I’m sure be wept.
