Nothing like this now. It looks decent but no decent shops.

I grew up in Newton Aycliffe but left 36 yrs ago. I was there today. The town centre has changed a lot since i left. However I m pleased to say the clock is still there. I loved to hear the chimes late at night. The town centre is very quiet mind.

Pissed up lads and lasses having a laugh. Happy days.

I'm sure I knew one or two of those lads. Bugger.

I lived in Aycliffe when it was a village, I went to the junior school which had sliding doors on the classrooms, the school was surrounded by fields, I lived here from 1971 to 1978

It's better now

I say it is him because he's wearing the same outfit in one of the rejects photos, singing on stage, very early days.

Nice people to be fair.. that's all that matters really

I live here

Omg is that what use to lol like

Grew up here in the early to mid 80s before emigrating to Canada. Haven't been back in 25 years. Really hope it isn't this bad I'm hoping to get over next year

Yay

Wankers .yeah you know who you are .piss ants .absolute weapons.shame on you for posting this video

Worked there in the early 90s and popped in last week, quite nice since the work done in the town centre. Good to see the Thames shopping centre still going lol

Lots of bad decisions by decades of councillors and ‘architects’. It does seem to be getting some of its life back last time I was there...

Grim

Lol there’s alotta nobs here but it’s not that bad

Love it, great stuff

Okay now I understand my moms weirdish hair syles xD

I live is Newton Aycliffe lol

Interesting to see what someone was like in a real life situation, a classic 'before they were famous' type thing, it does look a bit like ST but the picture isn't clear enough, why not contact him to confirm the matter.But was there anything particularly worthwhile about jumping up and down and going "Keep your trap shut keep a cool cat " in the first place ?

Its a hole

I lived there for 5 or 6 years when chairman blair was the PM. I always thought the town centre was like a wild west one with cut out buildings either side of a street. But at least they got a nice recycling center from him.

Started with safe European home as i remember..started lots of their gigs with this track

Nice one lads

aycliffe ain’t as bad now

Fam it's not that bad

It is just very old and needs some refurbishing

I live there and it is not as bad as that.

Headcase.

Half of the stuff is gone now it looks so much better but I miss the old buildings, the Aldi car park was a giant waste a space and the library was there too

Im almost certain they opened with London Calling, I was 13 my first gig, my first reggae sound system!!! drank milk 10p a glass, the support band were covered in spit and the Clash nearly stopped playing cos of all the spitting.

m8 it was being rebuild

I live the read it is not a ghost town

Stinky you fackin nuttah!! :)

I love Aycliffe, full of natty characters!!!

people are saying this ai'nt Stink. they fink thier write, but they never. Turner was an early boomtown rats fan (1st 2 singles, then he wised up, m8) & i fink i can here thier (slight) influence on that first Postmen demo

Yeah Stoner, they started off with clash city rockers

LMAO

Newton Aycliffe is horrible I will move out when I,am older

What year is this?

i live there lol

Is the begining of this missed off? Because I'm sure they started off with clash city rockers

i live in aycliffe and most of this stuff got knocked down years ago and now its much nicer and new

Thank you so much for posting this, I was at this gig too. God they were fantastic! I was right at the front with my sister, she somehow lost both her shoes and had to walk the streets of Newcastle in her bare feet afterwards. I've just listened to the lot and was back in the ballroom, 18 years old, young free and single, having a brilliant night. Very happy days, can't believe it was over 33 years ago!! BRILLIANT!!!!

I was at that gig too...I was still in the bog when they came on lol. Think the first song was Clash City Rockers???

I live there the town centre is shit

LOL :) I live there to its not that bad!

Still got my ticket as well! I was sure the balcony was gonna come down, when I looked back up & saw it bouncing!!! Luckily my sister worked in the box office & I go to meet Joe & Mick afterwards. Class!!! Hey Natrass! "What else have you got in yer Punk Box"?

Got my birth certificate autographed by Joe at this gig.
