NZ4523 : Billingham Town CentreBillingham Town Centre redevelopment in the 1950s following WWII was a shot in the arm for SW Durham. The establishment of an annual Festival, and the addition of the Forum theatre in the 1960s brought even greater facilities to the whole area. How sad then to read that within ones own lifetime these enlightened ameneties have been so abused and neglected that they are needing to have yet another make-over!
