Goosebumps for the past as I drive that rd everyday

[alantaylor]

Wow that brings back some memories with all the old cars lol, Thanks for a cracking bit of our past !...

[AndyWardle]

Memories there like. Loved the red coast road. And the house at the roundabout with the blue roof. A lot of that area looks exactly the same to this day. Good video.

Nobody went to the gym back then, they had massive biceps driving without power steering instead! Mint video.

Strange seeing the 14 stories, (no longer there now) My parents & me lived in one of them flats when I was first born for a couple year, I still live on the Coast Road today. Surprising how little has changed really, except it's a hell of alot busier today. Billy Mill roundabout has gone now of course. Thanks for the vid & trip down memory lane

[TheToonMonkey]

Wow. That's amazing when you compare it with today!

[JackpotPlus]

Hardly any traffic, unbelievable compared with today!

[nicksss]

Roadworks outside Tynemouth pool for the last 30years haha

4:03 I remember those three blocks of flats south of the coast road.
In the film version of The Likely Lads, Terry was living there. When Bob returned to his car after visiting Terry, it was sitting on 4 boxes, all the wheels had gone.

Ow 2022 God I loved this thank for this upload you got anymore

[Fatty-sjvr]

Wow they drove right near where i used to live. You know some of it hasn't changed massively. The coast road definitely has.

Amazing video, I've got family living in the Ashington area so I've been on the Coast Road a fair few times over the years
Seems odd seeing those tower blocks near the Silverlink along with the A1 being directly off it! Not sure when the former went but I know the latter moved onto the Western Bypass a few years later

[Syklonus]

Aside from a few old looking cars it's surprising just how little has changed in regard to the roads and houses. All the advancements were made inside our pockets and small grey boxes in our homes it seems. No Jetsons or Back to the Future II stuff unfortunately.

0:34 Bit of Julio Iglesias there. Me dads favourite in the 80's as he was driving his 7 tonner around the North East 😊

[taiterobinson]

The music your listening to I listened to on bus in benidorm anyone know what it is the Spanish music at atart

[ta-dahh]

Questionable music choices, coat hanger car aerial, tax disc held on by sellotape and the odd Lada kicking about.Brilliant stuff.

[crimesacrosstheglobe]

Check put the British gas vans, I remember them outside mine once, when me dad reversed the meter Lmfao.

[swaneknoctic]

After watching this, it makes you realise what a complete dump we now live in.

[dianespencer]

I used to get the bus to North Tyneside College

Did cars have asbestos in brake pads in them days ?
