All that I can remember—


Harewood — The Avenue.
-

Harewood - The Square.
-

Coldstone Farm.
-

Bedale - 2 Oak Tree Close.
-
All the houses I lived in (that I was old enough to remember) before I left home.

I was just talking to someone online about a Hacienda poster (their 7th anniversary) I had that was designed by 8vo. It cost me something like £10 at the time (1989), I was attending Newcastle College, and had left the poster at my mum & dads house (the last pic in the post). After college I moved down South to work with Trevor Jackson and my mum & dad packed my things into boxes and put them in the loft. One of those items was the Hacienda poster...the last time I saw the poster it was in a dark loft, slightly creased...and this then set me on a small mission to find the houses I lived in as a kid.

  1. Got a twang of nos­tal­gia look­ing at these (even though they are your homes), I often think about the places I’ve lived, and fan­ta­sise about vis­it­ing them, they bring back so many mem­o­ries (good and bad) we moved about a bit when I was a child so there are quite a few.

    There is a project in there, albeit very per­sonal, or a good fundraiser for Shelter.

  2. Cheers Ben.
    Yes, I was think­ing about doing a pho­to­graphic project, vis­it­ing every house, flat etc.
    Might res­ur­rect that one, as you say very per­sonal, but inter­est­ing.

  3. So strange look­ing at this as I grew up in the same area…
    Sharow, near Ripon. Now I live in Lon­don, but still go back to visit fam­ily. I often used to drive past that row of cot­tages in Hare­wood when I worked in Leeds.

    Thanks for post­ing. It reminded me that I’m from the north! :)
