Newcastle upon Tyne Shopping 60's & 70's

a short slide show showing Newcastle upon Tynes busy shopping streets before the arrival of Eldon Square and the Metro Centre

I’m always facilitated with old photos of Tyneside, it’s good to see what was there previously. And what’s still there.

Meet me on the Corner of any street of the City I loved It was not perfect but it was my Home I still live near the coast and last time i visited Newcastle after COVID i could not believe the changes its lost so much of its sole and it will be a very long time before i ever go back I love this video and shows a very different time when we all got along together unlike today where there is division and hate in society I am glad i had my youth when i had it looking back now

Brilliant nostalgia, not only the shops, but I remember the S.E.G. Vans too, thanks, wish I could go back just for a day.

I used to get the 21 bus along Scotswood Road to get to work at the old Adamsez factory that used to be next to Scotswood Bridge in 1977

Nice to see the city how it was before I was born and that’s my favorite song

Thanks for the memories! Lovely to see the old bus No 21, which I used to take me home to Cruddas

[DLT]

Northumberland street went through a lot of changes
hard to believe now busses went down there
used to catch a bus at the top near BHS to Cruddas park
Handyside arcade was a weekend hang out in the kard bar
was a great place to explore in the early 70's

Does anyone remember the man who for many years played his accordion outside Fenwicks.
He played through all weather's for decades I believe.

Will be visiting the city of my birth mid April it's been almost 30 year since I was last there

A bridge over Northumberland Street - that's a new one on me - thanks

The days when you could just stroll up to St James's and pay cash at the turnstyle.

I used to get the 21 from Byker to Cruddas Park
