I'm from St Stephens Way, but used to play in the old - empty - slum houses where you started this journey, and on the building site after they were demolished to make way for those new houses.

Me and Mrs enjoyed that mate, 👍

Brilliant video. Lived in Monkseaton for years when a child and never noticed them. I find this sort of thing fascinating now. Thank you for all the time and effort.❤

Lived in holycross for 21 years just down the street at Parkside, the ruins were my playground. story was there was a secret tunnel under the tyne to Jarrow

Hi, I'm an owner on Withernsea Sands, I really hope you enjoyed your stay, I notice one thing you didn't ask about was the part where you finally found your Ice Cream, that Castle you were stood at waa once the entrance to the Old Pier that was demolished over time in the late 1800s by boats colliding with it

Sometimes it’s fun to drive somewhere «unknown» just for fun

13:26 from the Tynemouth Pool along past the old Preston Grange is very familiar to me. I was born in the old Preston Hospital (now Haswell Gardens), my Dad lives near the Spread Eagle pub & I have great memories of playing on the Foxhunters playing field (to the right of the road at 14:40). The Foxhunters Pub Im aware has been on the corner (15:07) for many many years. Despite having lived in the South, having family living in Tyneside means Ive visited regularly and I can remember those large trees on the Foxhunters playing field being nothing but smaller trees tied to posts in the late 70s/early 80s. The kids playground had one of those massive tall slides with a little wooden box you could sit in!! I miss the red asphalt covered roads, blue lampposts & the yellow/white Northern buses. Thank goodness the pool still survived all the changes

Just out of curiosity, was that first 3-4 mins in Wallsend anywhere near the location used early on in the 1976 film The Likely Lads? There's a brief scene where James Bolam is in his XtraLite sales work van, complete with a set of speakers. He shouts out to Rodney Bewes "Move yourself Ferris-The hour of doom is at hand" as Bob is making his way over a zebra crossing, bewildered & confused 😅

Miss the old toll plazas and paying the old fashioned way. I always used to ring ahead from Norfolk to find out how much change I would need. They should've kept two or three barriers in place but as usual, its all sbout saving the bother of having a technician down there to sort out problems. So much easier to send out fines instead. Our entire country is held to ransom by legal and insurance ba5t4rds

So many nice and interesting places in these areas. I’m going to Whitley Bay myself this summer. Looking forward to it 😊

It’s been a while since your last video. Hope to see you back with new videos soon 😊 Any plans of new videos?

I remember visiting a pub back in 1997 called Shiremoor House Farm or something. They had a sign outside «Beware of bull».

More videos please

I miss those places 💔

Ive only just seen your video. I was born & brought up there & recognise so many things ,too many to list egFenham baths / library/ It was before the A1..I think Westgate College used to be Rutherford School ?? In my time Stagecoach didnt exist ,preferred yellow bus of choice was the 12 .I was married in Holy Cross Church ,to the left ,off Two Ball Lonnen .Thanks for posting this ,it was a trip downemory lane - so nice yo hear a Geordie accent,i still have 1 even though ive been away 45 years

Medowell is pile of shite lived there and would never go back

My g/ ma lived in the Holy Cross & Rosehill area all the time I knew her .Mam was born & brought up in Wallsend & married in St Peter's Church up by Burnside School It's more interesting with dialogue ,especially for those of us who left many years ago .Thank tou

Oh dear, it's not a folly, it was built to house a guest at one of the lavish parties given at the Hall, it had a purpose. I wish you wouldn't keep making uneducated guesses at what things are, age of sewer pipes and the direction they flow, windows not doors in the castle etc

Your 'historian' needs to do some research, so much not commented on like the salt pans, look at them on google satellite. You can see from watching all these Seaton Sluice videos how history gets forgotten or twisted, what surprises me is in how short a time, 60 years and so much forgotten or just plain wrong.

Yes Battle hill on top😊

Do battle hill

Angel of the North just scares me in general, I remember travelling down to Darlington and having to go past it my cousins thought it was funny to torment me.

Really enjoy these videos cheers

If you look at the 1858 Ordnance Survey map, there are actually two North Shields stations shown, the one you show, and the one used today. Also at that time, Tynemouth also had two stations - the original one (now part of Mariner's Point), and Tynemouth Terminus, across the road from the original station on the site of the TA Centre now. The line you walked along ran inland from the coast, and joined what is now the Metro line at Monkseaton station, which was then called Whitley Junction.

In the early 1970's, the Riverside line ran at peak times only to take workers to and from the shipyards. I once used it accidentally as a kid, as it left the Central Station from the same platforms as the other trains to the Coast, and it soon became packed with workers from the various yards. When work started in 1974 to convert the coastal rail loop to the Metro, it was closed forever.

The estate with the petrol station is were I live

Mentioning Monkseaton High School reminds me of a friend who was a bit of a punk type in 1981 who got expelled for deciding to pelt the headmaster with yoghurt and eggs for a laugh. Now they see kids these days have no respect, pull the other one, there were rebels in my schooldays who could be just as bad.

I live on the back of a major road and during the lockdown it was weirdly quiet...I remember the Easter I actually heard the birds over the traffic which was completely unheard of during the day..the only vehicles was emergency services and a few trucks.

The stuff they done with sewage and turned it into gas back in the day was quite impressive really..good video 👍

It’s Churchill st

Many people use the bridge also cyclists.

6 minutes 37 seconds into this video is the exact spot on the right where the likely lads movie filmed a scene when bob and terry came back and couldnt find the caravan

Seaton delaval

The old Tynemouth goods station next to Knotts Flats( opposite side of Tynemouth Rd) was saved when British Rail closed it in the late seventies and has been turned into houses.

I'm pleased it was clean as last time I was there it was covered in graffiti swear words

just come across this vid and love it, can't believe you have so little subscribers but i'll be forwarding it on to my mates old and new. more please

Braddazz mate thanks for that, I've lived in stakeford and bedlington Station all my life, earth balance has been there for yonks and I've never been.....and now I know why 😄😉

has a history of witchcraft !! search the witches of wallsend

Did you start at lolburn st?

Greetings from Whitley Bay (Margaret Road).

I'd forgotten about The Quarry near Cullercoats, haven't been there since about 1980. There used to be a dog shelter as well. Also the Broadway pub: it was so posh they used to have the Daily Telegraph on the bar and golf on BBC 2.

The old school at the top of Hawkey's Lane opposite the car dealers was Tynemouth High School, the town's grammar school until 1969, when it became a comprehensive. Both parents were clever enough to pass the old eleven plus and go to the High School in the 1950s. I think it's used as a further education college now.

Do enjoy your stuff but unfortunately so much has changed over there its difficult to find a location point,my memory of the Coast Rd was when it was just two cars wide all the way to the coast,it dipped down at Jesmond where there was a lovely little theatre The Flora Robson playhouse,alas no more, but yet stands that magnificent building Wills cigaret factory which you didnt mention,even though it must have dispatched a couple of generations coughing to an early demise,I lived at Rosehill,and on the odd weekend when Dad was flush we would take the bus to the toon from Willington Square, a Knickerbocker Glory at Mark Tonys and a seat in the stalls at the Empire theatre,and you wouldnt call the king your uncle,them was the days!

Juat before you turn on to Verne Rd was the Rex cinema, an imposing building that was turned into a bingo hall in the seventies. Shame another use couldn't be found for it as it really stood out.

Very lucky he wasn't hit by two lanes of traffic.

The pub in East Howdon was called the Duke of Wellington. There was a social club in the council estate until recently. Bit of an isolated place now it's been by passed and nowhere to have a drink.

I can remember staying at the Marriott over the road from the Pizza Hut. Work had paid for it and given us £ 18 a day expenses, which didn't cover our bar bill LOL.

I'm old enough to remember three landmarks next to the old roundabout, the three tower blocks in Howdon that appeared in The Likely Lads film. Nothing remains of them now.

My dad used to do the pub quiz at the pub in Earsdon. His other local was The Beacon in West Monkseaton, but it went weird when it became part of a pub chain with staff who were like androids.
