History behind the grey door in Post House Wynd, Darlington

WE got our lefts and our rights mixed up when looking for Simpsons’ sports shop which was in Darlington’s Post House Wynd from the early 1960s until the late 2000s. It was on the northern side of the wynd, in the premises now occupied by Toni & Guy hairdressers, next to Robin Finnegan’s jewellery shop. “It was on the same side as Hoppers and Richardson’s the jewellers,” says Mike Walker of Middleton St George, one of many who pointed out the mistake. “There was a fish and chip shop on that side, and I remember Simpsons was very close to was a ‘surgical’ shop which for the life of me I can’t remember the name but it’s window had all sorts of supports, socks etc in it.”

Inside the Darlington town centre cellars where two men were killed 250 years ago

TAKING a tour of Darlington town centre more than a century ago, WJ Mountford walked off High Row and up Clark’s Yard. “The old houses and workshops that crowded this picturesque and narrow way have nearly all become warehouses,” he wrote in his unpublished memoires in 1908. Then he, like Memories 510, looked up. “There is an interesting old leaden spout at the south side of the yard which bears the initials ‘IP 1767’,” he noted, referring to the drainheader on the top of John Pease’s old house. And then he looked down, and said: “A wooden gate bearing iron spikes stops the way to a dozen stone steps leading to some dark, damp, ancient chambers beneath.”

The amazing Darlington mayor who literally lived a life of crime

FORTY years ago, Darlington’s mayor was a man who had profited from a life of crime: he was Bill Newton who wrote 125 thrillers, featuring heroic cops like Joey Binns and Miles Dresser, which had been translated into 13 different languages. Indeed, in the early years of his career, one of his stories was considered too racy for America where it was banned by magistrates and his publishers were ordered to pulp 1,200 copies. And his year wearing the golden chains of office began when he published his 84th novel, The Way to Get Dead. It was, said the Evening Despatch newspaper, “a pacey tale of crime and killing from the Darlington mayor, including a fair dollop of sex”, and the front cover featured a dead young lady in a brassiere.
