Coatsworth Road! I remember back in the 1980s, my parents seemed to spend all day on Saturdays between there and Gateshead High Street paying bills. It's made me wonder whether Direct Debits are partly to blame for the decline of our High Streets! When the Metrocentre opened in the mid 80s, Coatsworth Road and Gateshead High Street really didn't stand a chance. Things always come full circle and the Metrocentre is in a real state now.

Remember lot of those streets snd buildings gateshead was booming

Newcastle & district town councils need to protect what little now remains of newcastles past. Far too much has been destroyed.

My sister and family lived in the maisonettes they are pulling down

Cut the awful music please

I remember the Old Fold, that was a shithole aswell 🤢

Happy days in my home town of Gatesid 😊

Good to see some shops still exist today.

03:05 People number the pain of modern living with ale and tobacco ... Not much changed in 2022

Like the first picture 00:03 with the class 43 AKA "InterCity 125" train ... Was light years ahead of it's time for 1976 when it was introduced.

02:25 a dump in the 1970s..Even WORSE now. Watched this video with the "Music" off.

West Street - it's unrecognisable now. And little Regent Street - gone completely. The last time I lived up in Newcastle was early 70s - half a century ago and if I went back up to Gateshead now I'd be completely lost.

Gannin downhill then and now it's Gannon downhill fast

I was born 1961 in bensham Brighton Road

Some beautiful design buildings..looking through tinted glasses here..gateshead looked better than ..then it is today..

Thanks for the photos, the music I find is very apt

I was eight when we moved into Monk Court flats in 1963

Yer Hutchinson was a twat,he slapped me across the face outside the metal work room,I ran away from him told him to F off,and mr lee slippered me once softly,complete bully,mr lee was good though ,fair man,Hutchinson should of been sacked,never forgot ,mrs Nichols ,strapping miss,Byers ,on her hands that stayed with me all my life,she was cruel also

The end of an era. They were a customer of mine in the 80s when I worked for ICL

The top part has completely gone now. Only the bit with the library left standing.

How is the organ doing these days?

I used to live there. Do you have any other footage of Cathedral ct coming down? I've watched the other two you uploaded already. Cheers

Hasn't changed much since I went there in the 80s...mostly happy memories.😃

My dad came down South in 1935 to work in the Chatham Dockyard on gunnery. He served his time with vickers Armstrong. He lived in Askew road over a greengrocers shop. I came up to see my old grandma in 1958 when I was eleven years old. I would love to see some pics of the Askew road area if there are any. Many thanks love this site.

Excellent stuff looking for old shot of Askew road area
