Hopefully those closures are just temporary however it's still worrying to see. Its also worrying that some of the older municipal architecture in Consett, a lot of which is absolutely stunning, is also in quite a poor state of repair too. Another great little recording Billy, cheers for your content, and I agree - us folk from the area, we really are built of stronger stuff. Steel, Coal, Lead & maybe even crisps (those old enough to remember will know, those not will wonder what they missed!)
@ 49secs.......The UK is slowly morphing into an Open Prison. Can you imagine the Council's reaction if you were to erect a dystopian camera on a pole like that on your property?

If you mean the Black Diamond, I think it's closed.

if the golden arches are gone that's a step in the right direction surely. A good fish and chip shop would be preferable.
