They should have waited for the expert. No I would not had helped them

what ever happened to the containers that were burried then ?? are they still there ???????

Thank you❤

Thank you all for watching, sorry again that I was late with the upload this week.

I lived on Hillheads Road for 23 years and my Mam still lives there now. I didn't know anything about this murder so thanks for uploading. I know a lot of grave stones in St Pauls were taken out when they built the extension on the church so maybe that's when McDonald's stone went.

💚

Well done , Julie. There’s no need to apologise.It’s a pleasure listening to you.

I think john set out to kill Maggie, hence why he wanted to see her on her own ,but his plot failed so he shot her infront of her friend . He was deffo not in sound mind at the time

Another interesting story, Julie. Thanks for sharing this

Laws' Stores had a room upstairs which was often used for wedding receptions. I remember the cars stopping on the High Street and the bridal parties squeezing through the shop and up the fairly narrow stairs. The shop was counter service then not self service. Walter Wilson's and the Hadrian were also counter service in the early fifties.

I remember Corners shop and doing a Harry Worth impersonation in the Pillar outside ! And yes, there was a Cobblers there which also cut keys and he had a large display of key ' blanks' hanging up.

Keep up the Brilliant Work Julie

I really enjoyed this longer one & your slight mistake made me giggle I wouldn't have started again either!

💚

An interesting case, well researched. Thank you Julie. 🙂

Good afternoon, Julie. Aell,in spite of the killer's accusation, for onca drunkenness played no part in this tragedy. There's no doubt he did it; nor that it was intentional. The only doubtful aspect is his mental state at the time. He whole tagic event took several days to unfold,and be chased his victim into another house.,firing 3 shots His bout of madness seems rather sustained. Possibility: He had syphilitic insanity..and had only increasingly frequent bouts of it to look forward to; whilst his love had rejected him. So, like you say,he did not want anyone else to have his woman, and chose suicide by murder. Heartbreaking, if so.💔. Au revoir,Julie until your next case. 👍⚘

Thank you❤

So interesting. Lurpak add reminded me of looking forward to my Grandmas house where I would slather it on everything without a clip! Really enjoy your stories Julie.

I always look forward to your videos, whether historical or crime & punishment. Thanks

Another great video Julie, can I ask are you Julie mcknight ? As I recognise your voice x

Interesting place.was over there few weeks ago wandering around looking for sid chaplins grave...a book was published some years ago .."a fine and private place"..about the notable people buried there...out of print i think, but still available on ebay..bit of collectors item now

What a charming place to grow up. Here in America we had Woolworth's it had a lunchcounter and booths to sit and get something to eat at reasonable prices ah the good ole days. Thanks Julie.🇺🇸🇬🇧

I feel the jury was wrong, this was murder and how could they not rely on the fact that Thomas was awakened late at night while his 5 children slept near by? I think Thomas's motive was plain, picking up a poker perhaps to protect while simultaneously confronting the madman at his door. Great telling, thank you.

A complete mystery,Good Drawings,Good Presentation 👋

I did a similar do Julie, but mine are all still photographs of High St, and off High St shops. the plan was to decide how many fast food/ barbers/ nail bars we have , but it turned out to a full north and south side itinerary of High St. shops. Well done you and Alan at library job.

your correct about the scooter Julie, but think it may have been another barbers shop at the time?

Thank you❤

Hello again, Julie. You are right about this one thing very odd; there seems to be no motive for this vicious attack...the victim and his killer singly on goodterms,and no emotional or monetary problems to divide them. I suspect the third man could have said more.. (maybe protecting his fellow Scot? But from what?). And I also fail to see how multiple verbal threats and visits to the Vallely home - armed - add up to manslaughter, rather than murder. Could judge and/or jury have been 'leaned on'? More to this case than we have, I'm sure. Thanks for yet another trial and another surprising end. Until the next one, I wish you good evening. 👍👏👏⚘

The Pawnbrokers used to be Europa, which was a diy, wallpaper shop. My mother used to work there around 1974/5/6.

Great video, Julie. Dolly Peel is a very distant relative of mine. Her father Bernard Appleby was my gggg.grandfather - altho I am descended from his first wife (Jane Weenle) and Dorothy was born to his second wife, Ann Wheldon. I have researched her quite a bit and have seen a baptism record from St.Hilda's for 'Dorothy, dau of Barnabus and Ann Appleby, dated 13 April 1873' so born 1872?

I remember the light up map outside of Woolies, and when our ' Gang ' used to pass it we all got together to get every single light working , ( many hands make light work .. Lol ). Also remember the huge white letters that Hills had on the outside of the building and also the Boots mosaic. As for Siddles, that was where i bought my Beano and Dandy comic every Saturday morning . There was also a bookshop on Border Road called Storms where we would buy / trade our D.C. comics which was run by Mr. Storm who looked about 100 years old.

Woolies! Do miss that! Thanks for trip down memory lane. Never been to Wallsend but it's history is similar to other towns

Very interesting. She was quite a gal. Thank you.

💚

When I first saw the video title I thought it would be old photos 60s,70s,80s, all these photos look recent to my memory, I thought it might be photos before even road humps were thought about 🤷‍♂️

Thanks 👍

I worked for Raymond Swan in the 60,s lovely man

I wonder who looked after their children while they were out to sea?

What a Woman, What a life!

Thank you❤

i have heard of Dolly Peel .but never knew the story, thanks for posting this ..very interesting

I remember Axe, it was very basic and a lot of the goods for sale were just stacked on the floor still on the pallets they arrived on from the delivery wagons. I also remember Bon Marche, they had their own plastic money tokens and i also remember that whenever you paid for anything , the money was put in a container above the cashiers head and was dispatched upstairs to the office Via a pulley system and you waited for your change to be sent back down ! KFC was the old Co-op and Tates was where the nail bar is. The shops i remember most were Stone Dri and The Mississippi Trading Company for your platform shoes and Flares , Hills Ironmongery, Parrs the jewellers, Tompkins, which was one shop but divided into two parts, one side sold bicycles and the other sold records. The High Street in the 60's and 70's was amazing, tons of thriving shops with lots of stock,oh, and while i remember, there was a fantastic ice cream parlour ran by an Italian whose name i can't spell, but it was pronounced Mar - shys .

Very enjoyable video, more of the same please!😊
