The Robin Adair had a roof covered by Green Westmoreland slate... It could not have looked more out of place. Whatever the architect for Newcastle and Scottish Breweries was thinking God only knows.

We did have a lovely city. I loved growing up in the past . And everything wasn't perfect. But compared to today, it was a beautifull city. And 9 times out of ten you could trust people. I wish our buildings where still there, the architecture was stunning . But look at the state of not only our city, it's torn down replaced with horrible ugly tin buildings. That where thrown up in give mins . The council are responsible for the state vof our city, and country

Love these old films! Brilliant. My uncle had an ancient joke he used to tell regularly. One woman says to another. “I went to the toon today to buy a bra. Couldn’t find one that fit anywhere” Other woman sez, “ Have you tried Binns?” First woman says, “Aye, but they just keep rattlin’l

The thing I find very strange is we had an electric transport system in place back then but for some reason, we replaced it with tarmac and combustion engines, Now they say we need to go full electric to save the planet? Climate change is a total lie.

Born in Lincolnshire to a yellow belly dad and a mum from Blaydon, proud to be a half Geordie. Spent great times on Tyneside and doon the Toon in the 60's/70's. I went back for a holiday just a few years ago. You can still buy stottie, peas pudding, brown ale, wonder at Grainger town and above all hear that beautiful dialect and get a warm welcome.

As a teenager in the 80s we thought we were so cool hanging out with the punks in the Broken Doll!
@Kalatrobe Жыл бұрын
Me too! Used to go in there as a teen to drink Black Russians, smoke Players, and admire my fellow weirdos. The Broken Doll always had the best Goth/Punk music, and the most crimp-tastic, massively hairsprayed barnets on display. Most of us shopped at Phaze and Handyside Arcade for our wardrobes...and seeing a band such as The Damned, The Cult or Ramones at Newcastle City Hall was only a tenner! It was a fabulous place to be young in the '80s. 💜

I can’t help thinking how much the culture and way of life has been changed, I grew up in Newcastle in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s joining the Army mid 60’s and finally moving away to work in the mid seventies. When I tell people where I live in the midlands about Trolley Buses they look at me as if I am radio rental. Nowadays I hardly hear English being spoken when out and about, what were those two world wars all in aid of? Would have saved a lot of lives and sorrow if the people that defended the UK had just given the country away then rather than now. Thanks for the memories.

The old photos do show that in spite of some wonderful architecture in the city, that what a filthy black city it was until they started cleaning everything in the 70 and 80s - helped of course by the rapid switch from coal fires to central heating systems.
