That's my brother's boat on the opening scene. It's called The Team and is currently undergoing a major restoration back to it's former glory. Keep an eye out for it, it will be back on the Tyne again soon.
My Grandfather was born in Jesmond Dene North Lodge in 1896 I believe as his farther was in service to Lord Armstrong. His last job before retiring was to return to the Dene and work in the Council's greenhouse nurseries. My uncle also worked for the Council within Jesmond Dene as did I from 1987 till 1988 upon where I was transferred to Heaton Park. MillHouse which is a cafe now was just an empty abandoned house, ground floor was used as a bait cabin by the then YTS. The wife and I still pop down to Jesmond Dene now and then as I feel the family conection to the area. Thanks for the upload.
What a brilliant little documentary. The area is still massivley changing as I type. Imagine what the next 10 years will bring! 2032 and we may not recognise that entire area once again.
brilliant... i lived in the cradlewell back in the early 90s and was one of the first people to go mountain biking in the dene...i probably never helped when it came to corrosion where those trees were @ 6:11 and none of it was fenced off so used to cycle all over the place... :)
My Nan was born down in the ouseburn in the 1930s, they had such a hard life, not much to their names but she told me it was the best times of her life 😊
jessa dene , the giants footsteps, the lions den, the devils canyon, for gotten the rest but it was 55 yrs ago when we would play there collecting conkers and back through the culley underground tunnel to grannies park r maybe the railway bridge rope swing
My partner is in his 50s and everything you said in your comment he’s mentioned about his childhood , I’m 12 year behind so didn’t experience the underground tunnels through to grannies park 😂
very surprised no one else has come forward saying eeeeeee look that's me lol I also helped out fixing a boat for a friend off my dad's payment lol free fishing trips on the boat is still do the fishing but not off the boat anymore
Canny little documentary as I lived round there growing up, from the Ship inn towards the Tyne it's changed a lot, full of little pubs, quayside got their luxury riverside flats, actually not a nice place at night as the new street lamps are so dull by the way, I know everyone in this vid, not really, but know all the places Am sure there was a pottery place and a lead mine, or lead-miners homes, but after a big rain fall and the river goes down, I often go down and find bits of pottery?

My uncle was landlord at the old boat club. Breaks my heart to see the gentrified hipster hell it's become.
It was a horrible stinking, polluted dive before. I'm glad those days are gone.
Just see the steadfast in the background Orange life boat Jacky dacks boat
Never seems right to me when you get a commentary on the north east with anything other than that lovely Geordie accent.
harika

Am sure there was a pottery place and a lead mine, or lead-miners homes, but after a big rain fall and the river goes down, I often go down and find bits of pottery?
My uncle used to live on merton rd and i remember the tar works at the bottom of pottery bank and the bar to in the 70's
1989
