In the late 80's when working as a contractor in the basement of a shoe shop on Shakespeare Street I was able to wander around way below street level and I could hear rushing water. I was told it was "the river that no one knows about". Interesting to see you mentioning it.
25 years ago when I worked at Baratts Shoe shop on Northumberland Street, in the basement on wet days we could pull up the drain and see the river flowing fast down the street. It was amazing and you'd never be able to do that now!
It doesn’t follow under Northumberland St bud. It flows under Eldon Square as it arcs around to Leazes Park. In addition, the Lort Burn is several metres under ground. You were looking at something else, but it wasn’t a burn. Sorry
where abouts was barratts again? the lort burn used to swing down st thomas' street past the old entrance to haymarket marksies that was on a lane called prudhoe lane that ran into the now lost prudhoe street (the middle thereof; at it's low point) and then under eldon square/northumberland street; out past brunswick church; across the road past greys monument; under central arcade meeting and merging with the little lam burn (from darn crook) on market street before travelling under the west side of grey street; down dean street then into the tyne via sandhill. if you were on the east side of northumberland street then the likely culprit would be the erick burn that you can still see the valley of if you look down the side street adjacent to greggs further on. i suspect you were seeing the lort though if there was that much water involved at that place. the lort was originally called "seven wells head" around its source in leazes, as it collated from seven springs there (you can see the seven spring pipes entering the lake all around it), so i imagine it produced some flow during downpours. Brilliant find, and thank you!!! 🤗
Love Newcastle ! Frenchie living there for 12 years, came for job experience and stayed for love. My favourite stall at the market is the leather one, the guy is such a friendy bloke, always on for a nice chat and jokes ❤
Hi a great insight into Newcastle upon tyne a great city. I'm from Greater Manchester but on the verge to relocating to Northumberland keep up the great work.
Fun fact earl grey lived in howick hall a lovely village in Northumberland on the coast. The local kids would jump off the cliffs into the sea but was very dangerous as hidden rocks below the water. Early grey paid for a team of guys to dynamite the rocks away to prevent injuries to the kids. This beach in my opinion is one best beach in Northumberland. Love Newcastle but can understand why Early gray would prefer the quiet retreat of the rugged Northumberland coast line to the busy streets of Newcastle.
I’m from South Shields and only just discovered your channel. I love listening about the history of Newcastle and the Quayside. I also love visiting North Shields via the ferry as my great grandmother was born and spent her formative years in Bell Street living in a pub her dad, my great great grandfather, managed.
I wouldn’t usually care about history and where I live but when I watch these videos I find them really engaging and I always learn something new. Cheers Eddy great video as always 👊
I was born in Liverpool but spent the last 27 yrs here . I love newcastle it as everything you need for a medium sized city . You can jump on the metro to the beautiful coastline that's not to far away or cycle to the countryside the history is amazing as are the people that live here to .
Fantastic mate as usual more facts than a dictionary!! I too live just ootside the Lake district and work in South Lakeland and climb mountains!! Geordies, we are everywhere!😎👊🤣
Eddie, My Nanna lived in some flats at Shield field called Lort House & they are still standing today. The name must connect to the name of the river you describe & that flows under Newcastle. I was unaware of this. My wonderful dose of Newcastle, please keep it up. It's cumin up!
Haha! Glad you enjoy them. I mention in the video that the river is called Lort Burn and Lort in old Anglo Saxon means filthy or dirty. In Denmark it means sh!t. You’re Nana literally lives in the sh!t house 😆😅
I was with a group of workmates that relined the sewers around Newcastle city centre in the late 80s/early 90s. It was dirty hard work in pretty grim conditions! You could walk from the quay all the way to spittal without bending Doon. The junction at mosley Street has a massive underground structure very impressive. The shft outside the old Marconi office is very deep also.
Fantastic wee video! I stay in Edinburgh but got a few good friends down in Newcastle - I always enjoy my visits down to the toon! Fascinating finding out about it’s great history
So Charles Grey and Charles Dickens liked to put it about ,lol.Newcastle is a class city, ain't we lucky to live here?Fascinating stuff Ed .Bring on the next one, cheers mate.
Howick Hall tea rooms have a slightly differing account of Earl Grey tea. You didn't mention that the Early grey monument is hollow & used to be open on Saturday mornings, where 3d ticket allowed you to climb to the top.
What a lovely video! I’ll be joining Newcastle University in September and learning about the history of the north east from your channel is really informative and entertaining. Hazelnut pint looks lush too, can’t wait to try it 😍😍
The underground river runs through Haymarket from Leazes Park, Barras Bridge went over it. Also I understood a Geordie was defined as a distance from banks of the Tyne. I was born on Barnesbury Road Benwell. Great videos H.
Hi Drew, sorry but you’re incorrect. The Lort Burn doesn’t flow under Barras Bridge, the Pandon Butn did, a different river. The Lort Burn flows roughly South East from Leazes Park down to the River Tyne by the current Hard Rock Cafe. I’ve researched quite extensively the origins of what a Geordie is and the myth of it being a distance from the Tyne is exactly that, a myth. If you check out the video I did on the subject in my History and Culture Playlist, I set out the historical origins of what a Geordie is and isn’t. Cheers bud 👍🏻
Great vlog again Eddy.....really enjoyed the factual snippets of this great city of ours 👍hen weekends / rivers under the city / vital Toon win / dickens & grey........we've have a fascinating past and a prosperous future!!
Yes thank you for your video. Only went to Newcastle for the first time yesterday. Sat 7 jan?2023. In my last comments I forgot to mention when the boat comes in. And was it ??? Charlie Wilson's war t.v. series.??? Mr bolan likely lads, new tricks. Really love that geordie accent. Now your research into Newcastle and what you are producing is a valuable gift to me any how . In your sharing of what you got to offer. Its brilliant brother. You likened unto another fred Dibna. He was a good great narrator. And you are doing a similar thing. Keep it up as long as you can I for one very appreciating what you are doing. Lovely content and very interesting. Cannot fault anything so far. Thank you once again for your taking the time to be a blessing to and for other people. What you offer is very important. Thankyou.
I've lived in the Toon for just about 7 years now but we're moving back to Glasgow in the summer. I absolutely love this city and will miss it dearly but it's the right choice for us just now for family reasons. I can't wait to continue watching your videos and get my slice of the toon from Glasgow. Top work pal, keep it up. Wee tip for you, there is an absolutely fantastic lager brewed in Glasgow (to german standards) called St Mungo. The Broad Chare is the only pub in Newcastle that sells it on draft. It's well worth a try when you're next down that way - I promise you won't be disappointed.
excellent video I never knew about the river running underneath grey street great stuff try and do a video if you can on betty surtees I went there on a school trip in 1975 behind the cooperage it was like going back in a time capsule to a dickensian street I've never forgotten it
Love watching your content Eddy a lot of thought clearly goes into the video's to make them as interesting as possible because some of the facts you discussed in this video I wasn't even aware of and I'm a North East lad lol
Really enjoyed this one Eddie, looking forward to seeing more. Great result for the toon too, after seeing the other results it looks like they certainly needed to win.
I can remember, when i was a child, in the 1960's, Grey's Monument was a roundabout also it had two lamps on the top, one white and one red, the white one meant all was well, if the red one was on it meant that someone had died in the town that day.
Jealous of your day out watching from Australia. That looked a great day! I see you live in Wardley. Had my engagement party in the Wardley Club. My father-in-law still lives in Pelaw and walks down the river for around 3.5 mile most days.
@@TynesideLife dunno really think it was the title I was born and bred in Hebburn worked at Swans and AMEC met wor lass whos from Derby came here to visit her sis and fell in love with the place if you have an email I can send you some pics of some of our local sites and pubs
Many, many years ago when I was about 12, I was lucky enough to be on a cruise and got talking to an old lady. She was delighted to discover I was from Newcastle, as she was Earl Grey's granddaughter
Great video Eddy, know the Waterstones near to Grey's Monument that building was originally built as Emerson Chambers which is an example of Edwardian extravagance.
Good video. Would like to see a video about the blacksmiths etc back in 1800s. My family had business back then would be interesting to find out about the history around that time in Newcastle and surround areas.
