They must be a hardy bunch up North. My Dad was always fighting. He and his brother. He was a boxer and had his nose broken three times and proud of it because he thought he looked too "pretty.'' He left because of the War and then he met a guy from Liverpool, and he visited him and that's where he saw my mother and he never went back. I could have been from Middlesborough. It's the luck of the draw. They've got their flags up there. They're trying to have a life and enjoy a bit of football. Those kids looked well dressed. Everyone making the best of it. Life is a struggle for everyone.
very true mate- its the luck of the draw where you come from but your right in that most people from hard working class areas do their best and the best by their kids in spite of the obvious hardships.
Doggy (as we call it) market used to be epic back in the sixties when I was a kid. I had my appendix removed in 1977 at North Ormesby hospital after it burst after a day’s drinking at my Uncles pub (The Robin Hood, over the border in Middlesbrough) !
I used to run Walter Wilson's Super Market on Kings Road back in the 1980's I now live out west on the Canadian Prairies. North Ormesby was a nice town back then. I think my old shop is now One|Stop food shop these days. Thank you.
My dad is from north ormesby and my nanna lived there for a number of years she owned a fish and chippy there I use to go and stay with her on weekends I loved it as a kid.. haven’t been there since I was a kid though
Doggy born and bred,used to be a desirable place to live,growing up in the 80's it was class,everyone knew everyone,and it was safe,i don't feel the same when I pass through these days,very sad.
I am a Boro season ticket holder who lives in Doncaster now. A couple of times last season we had a beer in the Jovial Monk. The people in there are sound.
North Ormesby also known as doggy. Ws a lovely place in the 80s first time buyers haven young couples family's first houses , but now it's wher tner just throw all the immigrants bag heads drug dealers , House prices dropped dramatic,y when they moved first of all couple gad eggs inn brought yeh area down. Then just deteriorated to what it is now
Hi Billy Moore.. I've followed your podcast for a good while... Great content... Funny cos I lived in North ormsbey for 5 years n yeah it's rough as but I never had any issues n some decent people over there... A large Romanian community now n again most are decent people... I brought me house there for £30000... I sold it for a nive profit n I'm now living somewhere a lot nicer lad... Down south from Middlesbrough...Bristol chapter was good n yeah I'm familiar with the well known St Paul's area of Bristol... Keep doing your thing n good health to you n your family..
It’s so sad how this country is now. I’m from down south ( Milton Keynes ) but even we have tents all around the shopping centre and gangs on some estates. They decided to put an overflow of people from London here so now we have all the gang 💩here now.
Looks lovely mate, hanging baskets and all that. Compare this to anfield for instance. Sure it needs a lick or paint here and there. But theres no kids on lecky bikes running you over, or dealers on every corner 😂
@michaelclarke721 Your talking about the football ground then yeah it's great. But the surrounding areas and many around county road/breck road are far more deprived than what I saw in this video. And your right it is a lovely city on the whole. At least the people are, but there are many areas that need regeneration
43 years lived in middlesbrough it's like a ghost town what as happened to a nice town over the years drugs crime and legal immigrants poverty it's only getting a lot worse also but it's not just middlesbrough the full country is like this and us as people have made like this such a shame
Always be proud of this country but so let down who's destroying it I from dovecot but lived anfield 17 yrs I now live Walton I love this area worked in co-op country Rd held up gun in my face he totally destroyed my life anxiety stress 😩 wow but am getting there and want to be commuting with young lads 👦
Another great little doc there, dunno how you have the bollox Bill to walk around with that camera in some areas, I'd have no chance it'd be swiped straight off me 🤣that is the first I have seen Grove Hill properly in a long time ... was in the Boro town centre yesterday and couldn't believe how much has changed. Ghost town, rapid decline especially over the past few year. Everything closed that i used to like to visit for clothes or what not, gone. A lot more homeless about. Sad to see the same thing happening seemingly anywhere North of London 👎 deprived areas getting increasingly worse for ASB and poverty in general rocketing like I've never known This election on Thursday will change f*ck all, more than sure of that. Sad I am so apathetic. Let's hope I'm wrong though and the country gets the regeneration needed and help to the most vulnerable in the areas like where you are highlighting Dunno if you're still in the Boro but if you are I would recommend checking out Eston Square TS6/Whale Hill, if not never mind. Great that you have given so much time to show our town on your platform All the best BTW those hideous metal insect/dino things I have seen in a few areas and not sure what creative genius thought they would brighten the place up 🤣🤣They are absolutely minging Was probably a Tory idea
Billy, I work in that area and the surroundings on a daily, up close and personal. Yes it’s weird and deprived. Do not forget about the area that you grew up with, and your story back then. I feel some of your comments about this area are a little condescending, due to the fact that you were once viewed/classed as “the hills have eyes” I’m not trying to make a beef with you, just that that area is full of decent people that I’ve met and continue to meet on a daily. Just being honest with you.
One of my mates lived in grove hill in the 80’s Jesus Christ it was every bit as bad then, one black man was father to 50 different kids on the estate so the neighbours all had a kid or two to the same man 🤦🏻 7:30 you had to get your cars off the road cos that was when the police were chasing 10 to 15 year olds round in cars, the kids would nick a car drive it round the roundabouts the wrong way smash into any cars that were on the kerb side then set fire to them when they had finished, all you heard from morning to night was warrr warrr police sirens ffs it was worse than the Gaza Strip 🤦🏻 went to the corner shop one night to get some bog roll & one of the low life’s saw me pull a fiver out my pocket to pay, so decided to follow me back to the house 🤔 to mug me, so I ripped a fence board off & took a swing at him, he was gone in seconds 😂 I was crazy back then & feared nowt, just as well cos you had to be or you had no life ! thanks for looking it up Billy no sooner said than done 👏🏽👏🏽 as always great videos
You need to go to the likes of Horden colliery, Easington colliery and shotton colliery if you want to see what poverty looks like you will be shocked to your core
Don't think you where in grove hill where those flags are mate looks like beechwood, over the road from Grove hill, should have went to valley road and palladoum shops thats where the stuff happens, was 2 cleva fights on valley road in the space of a week, same people fighting just different mates each time, its a shame because the great Brian Clough was born and raised on valley road the house has his plaque on it still.
All your videos should be shown to the goverment they might learn something about the country and the people!!! Cause clearly all councils talk shite to them...
Come on man he's swaggering around on Kings road and all the shutters are down on every single shop so he's obviously there very early on a morning lol I can tell you that usually the betting office , chicken place and that street is full of all the diverse doctors , engineers , scientists and dentists ENRICHING the area . The one stop further down the road is constantly getting robbed despite them putting a button operated lock on the door. It was only last week I tried to go in there and some smack head had OD'd and the place had the paramedics in it. That wasn't a realistic view of north ormesby cos he was wandering around for a while and he never got asked for a cigarette or money once
I'm a 68 year old cockney who has lived in this area for 35 years, wouldn't live anywhere else.
They must be a hardy bunch up North. My Dad was always fighting. He and his brother. He was a boxer and had his nose broken three times and proud of it because he thought he looked too "pretty.''

Correct
Areas like this all over the country thanks to decades of Labour and Tory MPs.

Agreed 👍
Spent a lot of my childhood in North Ormesby . My grand parents lived there , Livingstone Rd. It was beautiful in the 60's & 70's .
I am a Boro season ticket holder who lives in Doncaster now. A couple of times last season we had a beer in the Jovial Monk. The people in there are sound.
Doggy was a decent area up until the mid 2000s. Labour's Britain destroyed it.
North Ormesby also known as doggy. Ws a lovely place in the 80s first time buyers haven young couples family's first houses , but now it's wher tner just throw all the immigrants bag heads drug dealers ,
House prices dropped dramatic,y when they moved first of all couple gad eggs inn brought yeh area down.
Then just deteriorated to what it is now
doesnt seem too bad Bill,seen many estates like that when ive been round the country,kids seem ok just normal kids playin out
Nah that’s the scruffiest place in boro , horrific on a night
Nice to see you up here Billy, I always thought Teesside and Merseyside were different sides of the same coin!

Then get a tetanus 😂
Unbiased and truthful film.
Looks lovely mate, hanging baskets and all that. Compare this to anfield for instance. Sure it needs a lick or paint here and there. But theres no kids on lecky bikes running you over, or dealers on every corner 😂
Been to anfield a few times and never found it bad. Liverpool in general is a lovely city

Anfield reminds me of Boro
2:32 that is the site of the old dog market... hence the name why N.Ormesby is called "Doggy" by Middlesbrough folks.
Dogsbody Market👍
43 years lived in middlesbrough it's like a ghost town what as happened to a nice town over the years drugs crime and legal immigrants poverty it's only getting a lot worse also but it's not just middlesbrough the full country is like this and us as people have made like this such a shame
Another soothing video...
You should visit Doncaster, Stoke and Luton at some point
Also some areas of Leeds - Harehills, Holbeck, Beeston, Seacroft, Belle Isle...
North Ormesby used to be so busy. Loads of good shops, the market and pubs. Like a ghost town now, not good
I doubt the Tories get many votes around there 🤔
Believe it or not they do 🤣
The idiots voted them last time same as Blyth like turkeys voting for Christmas 😂
Wait till Labour get in.
Wait till karmer gets in
You'd be surprised 😂 brainstorm
I'm surprised you didn't get a load of yobs filling Yiu in videoing around grove hill , Boro is a rough town but I wouldn't move out of it
Its the people that makes a place and something is missing here 🙀
I was in obriens yesterday with with a couple of old mates, £2,50 a pint, excellent billy 😀☘
Billy gtown is bad I am from Grangetown I love it❤❤❤❤
I've lived there and the people were ok and a good community spirit but I could be wrong about it now.
you should see Ayr, Scotland. stayed there for years. place called 'White City' in Ayr.
Why is Boro so rough when it’s only a similar size to Carlisle? I was in the town centre the other week and it wasn’t too bad…
Always be proud of this country but so let down who's destroying it I from dovecot but lived anfield 17 yrs I now live Walton I love this area worked in co-op country Rd held up gun in my face he totally destroyed my life anxiety stress 😩 wow but am getting there and want to be commuting with young lads 👦
Great billy, but your vidio,s arnt long, it's just minutes mate, love the the content, as always, Sean from over the pond ☘
Good old doggie, my mam and dad got married in the church there.
Is Liverpool pretty similar good people still here and in Liverpool
Go to Sunderland go up Southwick and Hendon Billy laa
Dark austerity… scousers say it best 👍
Very true. At one point in time a working man and his wife could not get a house in north ormesby (doggy)
That's probably been there problem voting the Tories or labour..
That’s totally the reason😂 what about the rest of the country that’s voted Tory or labour😂

You want to head down Parliament Rd way if you think these Areas are bad Grove Hill great
You look a little bit like Ray Winston, a younger Ray Winston.
Looks alright tbf not much different to areas in Liverpool
it's like a ghost town
Bill your a top man

Sadly like most of the Areas.of Boro like Grangetown, Southbank Hemlington are all similar
Hemlington next 😂
I'm still blaming that kiss on Emmerdale Farm
7:10 I live next to that football/basketball cage. It's fucking awful. Last week the kids stole the Defibrillator from the HUB and burnt it.

Get yourself to Hartington road in Stockton-on-Tees

I've gotta say boro has to be 1 of the most depressing and roughest cities in England certainly in any top 5 !%%%
90% of the town is like this proper dump and the most crime in England
It’s not a city mate,just a small Town
Go to the outskirts,Marton,Nunthorpe etc and you wouldn't believe you where in the same town.
