Ryton Centenary 1963

In 1963 Ryton Urban District Council celebrated its centenary with various special events and a grand parade. Blaydon resident Jack Teasdale filmed some of the activities.
There is no sound track.
PS. You may be interested in Jack's video on the Blaydon Races Centenary 1962 and another on the Alston Branch Line Closure 1976.

Love these old home movies of the area. Life did seem to be a lot more simple then to what we go through today, and almost all the kids are marching in time, all well grown up now.
