A HOLLYWOOD-style ‘walk of fame’ could be coming to a town undergoing a multi-million pound modernisation.

People, places and events important to Stockton will be celebrated by a cast bronze plaques which will be set into the high street’s granite paving.

There are six sample signs now on display and people are being asked to give their views on other famous faces and landmarks that should be included.

Example plaques feature the Hirings Fair which saw servants and labourers sell their services in the 1900s, Cherry Fairs which took place every spring, Dodshon’s Fountain, trams, Stockton International Riverside Festival, and almshouses which once stood in Ropery Street.

Head of Culture, Leisure & Adult Learning, Reuben Kench, said: “We really want to hear from anyone who has an interest in Stockton’s fascinating past so we can make sure we capture the most relevant parts of its history and heritage.

“We are eager to hear people’s views about what the plaques should feature as well as what they look like.

“Stockton may be quickly transforming into a bustling and vibrant 21st century town Centre but it is important that its rich history and heritage are highlighted for future generations and visitors to understand and appreciate.”

A new-look high street costing £38m was recently unveiled with a fountain centre piece.

The example plaque designs will be on display in the Rediscover Stockton shop on Stockton High Street until the end of April.
