There was a lovely model shop next to the Police Station. When the Gosforth Centre was built, inevitably something had to go, and one of the casualties was Mood's fancy goods shop. The United Reformed Church on the corner of West Avenue became a Loch Fyne restaurant. I used to attend that church.

I hadn’t seen Gosforth high street for about 20 years when I visited last year and I must admit the high street is looking very tired. It’s a shame.

1977 Regent Farm Road, I was part of the team of lift installers working in the NEI Parsons building on the left of the picture (The one with the crane) I've lived here all my life and 40 years after this picture was taken I retired from the lift industry.

Would be interested in seeing construction photos of Gosforth Civic Hall, a place where I now work.

Looks like it was a United the bus with Private on it's front?

I'm sure there was a picture house in gosforth, sure my dad used to take us as we lived at kenton at the time or am I wrong

Looking at the aerial photography it would seem to have been miss labelled as Rothwell Terrace, shouldn't it be Rothwell Road ?
We lived there from 1970 till 1978.
Thank you for posting these it certainly brings back memories of times and places we had fun.

Rothwell Terrace is incorrectly named. It should be labelled Rothwell Road. I lived there until 1966.

Now you can’t move for “Turkish”barbers.

So many empty units on the High St now. 13 at my last count. Very sad. The County still the best boozer.
