Whatever happened to gateshead high St...( oh sorry Icelandic bank )

Gateshead high street is a right mess. It's a right dumping ground full of drugs, and alcoholics. 😢😢

To be honest Ive never been in there me self.. Lot of the guys did on a Friday.. Thats before they started shutting the gates & would open them when it was dinner time.. Seriously it was like a stampede..! I worked at A&P Appledores for 15 years before it shut.. I remember some of me work mates would run from smiths dock to catch the ferry to go to south shields to go & see the strippers at the new Ferry Tavern in Ferry Street... If I was working at smiths I would pop in the Wolsington House pub in North shields it's just literally out side the gates.. To be honest strippers weren't my thing... Put working up & down the river, Honestly good memories.. Good times.. That's when ships were lined up waiting to go in to dock...

Can anyone recall the Bulmer family

Fell out of that place many times over the years.

Always seems such a a waste to see all that track and signal infrastructure deemed to be no longer required. Why not keep in use if was widely used for diversions? Always useful to keep redundancy in the network for additional capacity due to network maintenance. Is this short trim from Network Rail to save money?

Great vids teesside two s . We used to do the pub crawl down the black path. Start in the bottom house gtown then to the junction southbank then the station hotel then the ruin as it was known cargo fleet then the navigation. The same pubs on the homeward journey all down the black path .only the navigation left now

Sent out to the Caribbean with 24 others following hurricane Katrina....promised two weeks, but turned into three. Loved working on the Bibby Sapphire, however the crew did not acknowledge my requests for further essential health care. Memories I will never forget.

What's the history with the building next door?.

I miss them running through the town, awesome sound, powerful machine

Not a cyclist here, so sorry for my lack of knowledge. Why is this dangerous/hazardous for cyclists? I can't understand.

Been up there lately, more than a decade later (2023), and nature is well and truly taking its course with that stretch of disused line now very much overgrown.

1:08 closes again

i hope someone saved the sign on the wall

Bet theres a few ghosts in gateshead

Born in a up stair flat on Brighton Road in the early 60s where the school is

Wardley signalbox was plunged into darkness when they built the dual carriageway over it, a dreadfully dire place in its latter days 🤢

Beautifully filmed departure of the Pride ferry from Dry Dock to Hebburn!

What happened to the club behind, the Thomas Wilson?

Simply dangerous.

Always a grim shithole, Curleys propped up after the demolition of Laws Herbal store, the only shop on the High Street with character, and of course, a lovely glass of Sass.

Use to go see the strippers here.

6.30 looks like a model railway, special lense ? anyways do you see tankys No10 & No50 old Eccles colliery tankys.

I used to work casual labour at spillers in the 70s, it was like a cathedral inside, don't understand why it was demolished, It could have been repurposed like the balltic mill was, there was something special about it which I cant remember, was it the biggest concrete building in the world or something like that,

This is my ship

Proof (if it were needed) that Gateshead has turned into an utterly god forsaken dump. Well it always was grim wasn't it?

Making a pig's ear of docking!

What a dump

0:55 Train that makes music

Now----Razorblades-unfortunately !

There probably weren't enough customers to keep the Wolsington House going once Smiths closed. Sad to say, the town has seen its pubs severely decline in the last 20 years. The High East End used to have seven pubs 30 years ago, only one is left now.

how much do these tours cost?

I remember this ship I lived in roker spent years there would often watch the ships in and out highlight was the aircraft carrier

Do you still make videos on the Tyne ?

Sugar

I've got film of the high street taken from the end of Sunderland Road. Where the Essoldo was. Down towards the Tyne Bridge next to the Dunn Cow. The place was heaving on a Saturday.Every kind of shop you could want.Taken in 1955. Look at it now. THANK YOU GATESHEAD COUNCIL.

What a happy cheerful place. Is the Traff still open?.

shame its all gone now, just like the riverside line

I have made a few films showing ships on the Tyne and this vessel was my very first ... the same day as you took this. It was the only time i actually filmed from the end of Tynemouth Pier ... i was trying to spot myself on your film but unfortunately I'm too far away. Good luck with your channel

Costafine Town.

Nice movie, as a Dutchman walking along this part of the Tyne (from International paint to my hotel) never knew that our navy was there before.

Thanks for this great video. And nowadays this old lady NORSEA is in Italian waters, sailing on the route Naples-Palermo for GNV as GNV ARIES.

Was this on the corner besides low lights tavern?

I prefer the virgin livery on the azuma it looks better and never knew there was a station here just the metro station.

Walked by that place a million times, always wanted a look inside instead of playing fox and hounds in the bushes outside.

Who is Captain Baxter can you do a video about him please

Jolly Drovers up and running and doing very well

You were very lucky to see two cruise ships leavinjg together .. I bet that doesn't happen very often on the Tyne

September 2021 O'keefes, and The moon and sixpence demolished.

Just beautiful. Lovely, lovely, color, scenes...love the way the person walking with their dog and the moving train meet in the beginning. Melodic sounds. Thank-you!
