Coast Road to Tynemouth - mid 1980s

A compilation of clips driving between the Coast Road and Tynemouth - mid 1980s

[@AnthonyPatterson-qp7bx]

Goosebumps for the past as I drive that rd everyday

[@alantaylor9772]

Wow that brings back some memories with all the old cars lol, Thanks for a cracking bit of our past !...

[@AndyWardle]

Memories there like. Loved the red coast road. And the house at the roundabout with the blue roof. A lot of that area looks exactly the same to this day. Good video.

[@TheToonMonkey]

Wow. That's amazing when you compare it with today!

[@davemitcheson4210]

Nobody went to the gym back then, they had massive biceps driving without power steering instead! Mint video.

[@burn5925]

Hardly any traffic, unbelievable compared with today!

[@Syklonus]

What are you on about? The roads and motorways are always like this during the working hours day.

[@nicksss1843]

Roadworks outside Tynemouth pool for the last 30years haha

[@crimesacrosstheglobe1885]

Don't think they've moved since 1980 lol, that strip still ain't finished.. Council on overtime abet.

Strange seeing the 14 stories, (no longer there now) My parents & me lived in one of them flats when I was first born for a couple year, I still live on the Coast Road today. Surprising how little has changed really, except it's a hell of alot busier today. Billy Mill roundabout has gone now of course. Thanks for the vid & trip down memory lane

[@Glenn1967ful]

The flats at Wiltshire Gardens were demolished in the nineties as well, but there isn't much change, except the bloody traffic. Nice to see some old school cars like Austin Allegros, Volvo 340s and that old Cortina estate at Billy Mill that was falling apart.

Amazing video, I've got family living in the Ashington area so I've been on the Coast Road a fair few times over the years Seems odd seeing those tower blocks near the Silverlink along with the A1 being directly off it! Not sure when the former went but I know the latter moved onto the Western Bypass a few years later

[@brianmorrison9168]

4:03 I remember those three blocks of flats south of the coast road. In the film version of The Likely Lads, Terry was living there. When Bob returned to his car after visiting Terry, it was sitting on 4 boxes, all the wheels had gone.

Leave them wing mirrors alone!

[@brianmorrison9168]

@@swaneknoctic9555 well remembered .. I vaguely remember shouting that to a group of kids when he arrived. Wanted to check on YT before replying but couldn't find the film. Regards from Whitley Bay

[@angelmamma8635]

Ow 2022 God I loved this thank for this upload you got anymore

[@keithwhitfield5590]

Love your videos. Keep them coming

[@Jeffybonbon]

we are all just passing through

[@AMG63]

The red coast road ahh man memories

[@garryclayton2001]

That metal coat hanger as an Ariel on the car (1.03mins in).... is picking up some weird shit across the airways.

[@Glenn1967ful]

Probably the old style Radio 2 or Radio Newcastle, Frank Wappat used to play some really old music on his shows. Myself, it was Metro.

[@bigdump2825]

What a great video thank you

[@Syklonus]

Aside from a few old looking cars it's surprising just how little has changed in regard to the roads and houses. All the advancements were made inside our pockets and small grey boxes in our homes it seems. No Jetsons or Back to the Future II stuff unfortunately.

[@dianespencer2609]

I used to get the bus to North Tyneside College

[@alanlittle3941]

Hardly any traffic..bliss

[@marcogg25]

Nice music 👍

[@ta-dahh]

Questionable music choices, coat hanger car aerial, tax disc held on by sellotape and the odd Lada kicking about.Brilliant stuff.

[@taiterobinson793]

The music your listening to I listened to on bus in benidorm anyone know what it is the Spanish music at atart

[@crimesacrosstheglobe1885]

Check put the British gas vans, I remember them outside mine once, when me dad reversed the meter Lmfao.

[@Jeffybonbon]

how things have changed ??

[@jamescoburn6789]

The 14 stories at Howdon.

[@kayvicars736]

It was better back then .

[@darkbydesign1031]

the 3 sisters flats

[@forza223bowe5]

Did cars have asbestos in brake pads in them days ?

[@swaneknoctic9555]

After watching this, it makes you realise what a complete dump we now live in.

[@taiterobinson793]

What’s the Spanish song called at the start

[@swaneknoctic9555]

Julio Iglesias - Begin the Beguine

[@TheWeardale1]

middle lane drivers even back then.. :)

[@craigmcvay1]

The old fourteen stories 3:44

[@billybigtime2808]

People walked faster and with more purpose back then as me and my sisters still do after trying to keep up with our parents back then as kids

[@s125ish]

Billy Big time yeah people say I walk too fast

[@hblock8361]

Barely anything changed 😂
