📽️ This wonderful colour footage shows Stockton Market putting on quite a display for the June 1953 coronation celebrations. If you have memories of this time, we'd love to hear them in the comments. The silent film was shot by local toyshop owner Leslie Brown and we're thankful to Yorkshire and North East Film Archives for allowing us to show it. Look out for more like this over the Jubilee weekend - we hope you have a great few days! | Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council
