Paid Out In Washers: A Glimpse into the Past of Old Dog Track, Stockton-on-Tees in the 1970s This evocative photograph captures the excitement and camaraderie of a washer game at Old Dog Track in Stockton-on-Tees during the 1970s. The Old Dog Track, a popular recreational space in the town, was known for its lively washer pit scene, where locals gathered to play and socialize. In the image, two men, Robin and Dale, are intently focused on their game, their expressions reflecting the intensity of the competition. The washer pit, marked out on the ground, is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, some of whom are seen in the background, engaged in animated conversation. The atmosphere is lively, with laughter and banter filling the air. The game of washers, a traditional English pastime, involves tossing small metal disks, or washers, into a hole or target. The simplicity of the game belies its enduring appeal, and the Old Dog Track was a hub for washer enthusiasts in Stockton-on-Tees. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Old Dog Track and the community it served. The 1970s were a time of change and innovation, but the washer pit remained a constant, bringing people together through friendly competition and shared enjoyment. Today, the Old Dog Track is a cherished piece of local history, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural traditions that have shaped the town of Stockton-on-Tees.
