The Hartlepool Mail may be changing to a weekly newspaper this week but our nostalgia coverage will still be as comprehensive as it has always been.
And let’s start a new era – which begins on Thursday, March 17 – with a look back at memorable scenes from each decade, starting at 2012.
That’s the year that Steetley chimney came down but it is only one memory from our journey back in time.
There’s much more so why not take a look for yourself?
