The uniqueness of Gateshead the coke works the terraced streets Dunston Staithes the High Street, some buildings escaped the wrecking ball others bit the dust what can you say, I live in nostalgic times
What a wonderful 4 minute interlude! Thankyou so much for such a sympathetic portrayal of Gateshead. In modern times, in some ways I suppose it was in its heyday in the late 60s and early 70s. I have so many fond memories of the place. Just a pity it's become so dilapidated now outside the perimeter of the new town centre.
Thank you Trevor.. Such important reminders of our recent past for future generations to embrace, particularly our local education community. The new Charlie Rogers book is nearing completion and will hopefully include some of these wonderful memories.
All this country has left now are its memories
Loved the photos. The buildings demolished in Gateshead has not only ripped the guts out of Gateshead but also it's soul.
The good old days ❤
Love this
Shepherds and Super Mac, takes me back. I hadn't thought of Shepherds department store in decades. Great soundtrack too. Do carry on x
I was born in Springwell and grew up at Deckham. Many thanks for the nostalgia trip.

Modernism took a wrecking ball to beauty and thought .
It's unfortunate that more of those non architecturally significant buildings have not yet been demolished.
Presently searching for a suitable printer
