Parker’s Dining Rooms – Middlesbrough

When the Archive first viewed this photograph the title of the establishment was intriguing; and researches then had to be carried out. Eric  Johnson advised: “This image is from the book ‘Middlesbrough’2’ by Araf Chohan. A pre-1914 photograph of Parker’s Dining Rooms, located at 34 Bridge Street East. The spire of St Peter’s church, above rooftops was destroyed in bombing raid in 1940.” The paving on the street in front also caused some comment, being the traditional slag bricks, but laid in a herringbone pattern; unlike the streets in Carlin How with the traditional right to left straight lines.

Thanks to Eric Johnson for the update.
