As a born and bred 'Geordie', I found that really enjoyable. Must say, I've seen Newcastle change over the last 30-40 years - and not always for the better.
A hotel for migrants we are becoming Well said charlie Let’s hope a new government will have the balls to spend our money on its own people and on our countries problems
Unfortunately spending money on our own people is highly unlikely, the numbers of in comers will increase and our services will continue to creak under the strain.
I thoroughly enjoyed that well edited and captured view of Newcastle, it has changed my perception of the City, and amazed at the historic buildings and feel it gives . It felt like Bristol on steroids with a blend of Oxford and London. On my bucket list.
Newcastle is a beautiful city. Obviously Charlie couldn't show everything but the castle keep, St Nicholas' church, dog leap stairs etc. In 1880 Mosley Street, Newcastle became the first public road to be lit using electricity.
You absolutely nailed it with your opinion on the layout of Gateshead - the council should have been sacked en-masse and replaced with somebody competent.
I had a friend who escaped from North Korea many years ago. I asked him: "How could you live and survive in such an oppressive regime'? He replied:" Oh, I couldn't complain'!
@@squire7618 I've never been to Manchester, but as a historic town it wouldn't surprise me if it had many beautiful old buildings. Equally, I've never been to Valencia but it wouldn't surprise me if it had some beautiful old architecture.
The building you thought was empty on Eldon Square is a mock front which has a huge vent for the underground metro system behind it. The techy looking monument that you looked at after is also a cleverly disguised vent shaft for the metro to allow the push of air out as it travels through the underground tunnels into the station below.
Love Newcastle, my granda was Geordie from Gateshead. Newcastle will always have a special place in my heart. You need to go to Durham up Barnard Castle, beautiful !
I love your walks arround your English towns but i love even more your walks in picadilly gardens and the crackies!! Love to you and Laura from Sweden!!!
Bit of history for you..The location of the swing bridge is the exact same location the romans built there bridge over the river Tyne.. my favourite bridge
@mattyearl8281 Yeah lol. But the posh parts of Newcastle still have a down to Earth feel to them even though they are well kept and clean with nice restaurants and architecture, down here in London, the posh places are just too posh and elitist.
That area with the graffiti near the Oxford used to be a brilliant nightclub called Maddisons. Oxford was an old nightclub that was named the Ritzy. Glad you pointed out the hideous 60s buildings around our city that will be difficult to demolish
Thank you for visiting my adopted home town. Your video showed me things I haven't seen in seven years of living here. Wish I'd been in town that day to say hello.
Dean Street (5.07 mins into video) appeared quite a bit in the movie "Stormy Monday" a gangster style movie starring Sting, Tommy Lee Jones, Sean Bean and Melanie Grffith.

Tribute to the Stealth bomber statue!!😂 you really do have a unique way of seeing things. 40 years ago I found myself in a flat share in London with Steve Donald one of the founders of Viz magazine he was very interesting to talk to and had worked in the film industry and I always remember him telling me about Newcastle nightlife and the women staggering out of the nightclubs in Sub-Zero temperatures with no coats and high heels and a lot to drink!
Thanks for the video! I lived in Newcastle for 3 years, nice to see familiar places. Sometimes I miss it's "smaller city" energy compared to Manchester.
Good video charlie. You missed stowell street/china town, the bigg market, grainger market, the gate, the bus station, times square/life centre, leazes park and. Of course, st james park!!!...but a good video charlie. I always enjoy your videos.
I had a couple of days in Lincoln while attending a big motorcycle rally at the showground. Lovely city and people. We were in a beer garden and a wedding party came in, I had my kilt on and the bride wanted her photo taken with me, all good fun. The pub crawl involved a bloody steep hill, which is great on the way down 🙂
@@daveurquhart477 they are not joking when they call it steep hill. Definitely a dose of your daily exercise if you have to climb up and down it every day
23:32 that was going to be used as a part of the footbridges across whole of newcastle city centre. It got scrapped only couple footbridges were built as people were scared to walk through at night
Grainger town in Newcastle made the city great developed to make the City as great as any of it's rivals, The development of Grainger Town in 1834 was Grainger's biggest project to date and was founded on two key relationships: Richard Grainger's friendship with John Clayton and his relationship with John Dobson, the North East's best architect of the time.
Spot on with your comments on gateshead! Born and bred there, left in 1972 to join the forces and never been back except to bury my parents.Looks even worse now!
Born and bread here in Newcastle and its lush always has been. Gateshead has always been a dump and still as long as I can remember it's been a dive. Would of loved to have seen you but we'll done on the video of my home town and doing it justice on the amazing buildings we have
Charlie, Thanks for the enjoyable video. You know, I use to drink Newcastle Brown Ale when it was Brewed and Imported directly from the U.K. Good morning to you both from the U.S.
HMS Explorer (P164) has a busy, diverse role which spans training students, getting out there and engaging with the public in smaller ports where large vessels won’t fit, and deploying to the Baltic to work with NATO Allies.
41:20 The Tyne bridge is a smaller version of Sydney Harbour bridge, designed by the same architect, but completed several years before the one in Sydney. Late 1920's I think.
6:00 Opposite the steps is the Botanist pub. Cosy and decorative. During happy hour they spin a wheel to find out how you pay. Inside is a wooden plaque with a list of Polar Bear Wrestling champions.
Would love you to come to the midlands and check out Hinckley, Nuneaton and Bedworth. We've started Bench gangs here as well now. Nothing like that city feel in a small town. Keep the content coming man.
Lived in the toon for 10yrs, loved it, you missed the pub out the back of Grainger market that all the crackheads who steal in the shopping center sell deodorants and razors, think it's called the black sheep ironically, could be wrong on that one though
From stories my parents related about WWII, Liverpool was indeed severely bombed, along with other spots in The Wirral, because of course Liverpool was a major port for Britain and the area an industrial center. Not these days so much.
It's a nice city, newcastle. Good on a weekend. Football fans enjoy coming to Newcastle. You get people from northern Ireland and some Scots. Quite a lot of Chinese and Japanese and Middle East people, and of course geordies!. Everyone seems to get on pretty well.
Wow, did you notice, no nutters, crackies, drunks or knobheads bothering you for 2 days, yet the video was still very interesting. This is why Newcastle is well loved, great looking and friendly with probably the best nightlife going, love it!
I’ll have to say you sit long enough at monument you’ll be bothered pretty quickly by the crackies 🤣 I begged Charlie to come visit because I think if you spend enough time in the city centre it’s usually quite chaotic. I think hes visited on a good day however😂

It’s beautiful and the people have always been beautiful too. Forgotten by London but not forgotten by us Northerners. Great visit Charlie and Laura.

as does the 'empty' building near to it

Amazing I've never been to many places and Newcastle is one of them and ain't it a sight ! Those bridges, WoW !
Bit of history for you..The location of the swing bridge is the exact same location the romans built there bridge over the river Tyne.. my favourite bridge
Come to Stockton, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool to see deprivation and waste of

Wouldn't call Newcastle posh, unless your walking in Jesmond.

They are not posh in Jesmond or Gosforth they just know how to talk correctly
Its posh compared to gateshead 😂
@@stephenharris7982everywhere’s posh compared to Gatesheed, I should knaa, I’m from there !
Brilliant mate I just wish I had known you were here in Newcastle. It would have been good to meet you.
Charlie, do a video in peterlee town centre. It's in the north east of england. It's a pure dump charlie.
2:06 One of those posh looking buildings is only a facade, it's all hollowed out to provide a vent for the Metro line running underground.
I can assure you that the Herman Goering redevelopment programme was enthusiastically persued in Liverpool.
49 minutes of entertaining video, cheers, Charlie

A much better encounter than AB had with the armed response in his face 😂

Liverpool was the 2nd heaviest bombed city during the war with London being first.

Unbelievable how this is not known...
correct
