So cool. So much has changed, but it’s weirdly still the same. Thanks for sharing! (Selfishly I hope you have more to share!)

Thanks for sharing this. Reminds me of the journey we’d take to my dads work in jesmond in the 80s.

wonderful, especially seeing the original benton bank before the bypass was built around 93' - i lived in granville gardens in the early 90s :)

Love this - thank you so much for taking the time & trouble to make these recordings & to share them. I was there - 1981 - 1988. Who needs dash-cams! Even love some of the music... Thanks again - social history with personal meaning which many will enjoy, even if they don't leave a positive comment.

I was born in West Jesmond in 1979. Check out Armstrong bridge and the coast road before the bypass went in! To be fair this is also sandyford too.

I was 13 years old, had just started high school. Wham freedom was number 1 in the charts! Ghostbusters was in the charts and i had been to Newcastle 1-1 Nottnm Forest the day before so I remember it was very cold over that weekend.

Awesome video brings back memories of living in Jesmond in the 1980s

Remember going to Santana's restaurant in the 80s in Jesmond . Queueing up outside to wait for a table with the smell of the cooking making your mouth water.

Thanks for sharing. Less cars on the roads either moving, or parked ( Even if it was filmed on a Sunday).

[bigdump]

God what I would give to turn back the clock even just for a hour

[Bicyclehub]

Why anyone would use up expensive film on this beats me, but I'm glad you did! It sparked off a lot of memories of my teenage years.

[ConfuzMereu]

[Glennful]

Not shown on here, but I can remember the filling station and the Volvo showroom on Jesmond Rd, with the offices above.

[bodinski]

wow proper time has changed, but it has all changed...great foresight to do the videoing all those years ago!...'keep ya eyes on the bloody road!' hahah

[marklloyd]

Lived in a house immediately to the rear of Whites Hotel which caused all sorts of problems with parking, noise etc. The punchbowl has just been done up, but when I was young it was run by Len Mitchell, ex NUFC and a good and very popular pub.

Great to see the old Benton bank pre-bypass, and the garage on Jesmond Rd that's now flats.
What are the dates of the videos?
