More about this scene
How fortunate that the industrial town of Middlesbrough could boast such a tranquil feature in its midst! The boating lake was an original feature from 1868, and was placed at the east end of the main avenue through the park. In recent times it has been beautifully restored, and now attracts many water birds.

I lived in grove hill in the early 60s with my mum dad sister and brothers.my dad henry mcalpine,worked on the transporter bridge,we came down from Glasgow. unfortunately my dad passed away.as the house came with the job,we had to move out,so we moved back up to Glasgow,grove hill was a great place to live,i wondered if anyone on here knew or worked with my dad?he would have been in his early 30s when he died.
I lived in Eden road grovehill from 1967-68 till 1972. We were a family of 10, i remember albert park and still go there. The park as changed alot though. Cried when we were took out of marton grove school and told we were moving.
Best friends were Jane peirce and Janet station.
Last year we lost our brother Brian Gunn at age 56. Great childhood memories from Eden road 😊
Dad used to take us in a rowing boat on the lake. We had to take turns rowing and we were only 4, 5 and 6 years of age. Not sure health and safety would approve now!!! I remember being called in eg "number 2 your time is up". Great memories.
