Darlington 1992: How much has changed in the past 28 years and what do you remember about the town centre

The pictures, though, provide a unique insight into the town centre back then, as the new Cornmill shopping centre was bedding down and people were beginning to grapple with the next big questions: what to do with High Row and the site left derelict by the demolition of Peases Mill.

Do you have any similar photographs from Darlington you would like to share? How an area used to look or perhaps a day out to a local attraction. Maybe your Scout, Brownies or sports group, a village carnival, school class or special celebration. Are you working with some of the same people from years ago? Let’s see your now and then images, and hear about how the business has changed.

The Cornmill shopping centre was only a year or so old. It was criticised at the time for being "concentration camp architecture" because of the lookout towers on the corners – can you see what the critics meant?

The shopping mall bridge over Priestgate was quite a major departure for the town which was more used to having giant co-op shops on either side of this street

A bustle of people on Skinnergate where the Institute club had recently opened in the Mechanics Institute – didn't it have large fairground horses suspended from the ceiling?

The site left when Peases Mill was pulled down in the early 1980s would be empty for nearly 20 years until the TK Maxx multi-storey car park – now occupied by JB Sports – came along
