Whatever degeneracy that happens will always be linked to the minority of criminals and lowlife racists that exist. The difference now is the media are too lazy to tell the real racists off (which wouldn't listen anyway) & so they just persicute all white people as racists, which is very wrong!

Now that is a great point….so true. I pray all those classical structures are still standing. I’ll do Google earth view to see. The two story beaux art looking building at the end of the street was builded to curve with the street. The Cathedral of Saint Nicholas is in the backround. As a boy from Pa, I became obsessed with this town….and it is a town because it has a Cathedral. It must on PBS and then I followed up on it at the library. Anglo’s stopped having children it would seem. The vacuum beckons, the old wall of the city kept out the madding hoards once before……this may well be the Britain will have to go again. It’s not going to stop soon enough. The baby mills and the four wife marriages are going to breed you out. You are up against the Vandals of ancient times, but instead they now talk about conscription to fight the Russian’s. That makes total sense, doesn’t it? Who will they conscript? And who will head to this farce? And what’s the pay off? Who will you come home to, but the people you don’t know…….if you even come home. Boy, do we need Donald Trump back so to set the world straight again.

Also good was the Christmas display at Caller's furniture shop on the other side of Northumberland Street from Fenwick's. Sadly, on the evening of 30 November, 1969, the store was destroyed by fire, probably caused by an electrical fault in the decorations. The building had to be demolished, as did buildings in Saville Row and North Street. At least it all happened on a Sunday evening, when hardly anyone was around, and nobody was seriously hurt. Northumberland Street never conveyed two-way traffic again. A replacement Caller's opened on the site in the summer of 1971, and has either been completely rebuilt, or demolished already.

@@toonarmy8524 - Newcastle in the 1960's was still very much an industrial city with its buildings covered in soot and it was still recovering from the war. The wonderful old buildings in what is now called Grainger Town have been transformed from soot stained black to their original sandstone brown and look magnificent. The Eldon square city centre area was allowed purposefully to run down to make its subsequent demolition more acceptable to the public. It was all carried out by a corrupt city council under the leadership of T Dan Smith who claimed he was creating 'The Brasilia of the North' while taking huge back handers from the developers for which he was later jailed for 10 years.

That was short lived. It was put up in 1968 but removed after someone was killed falling from it in 1970. The clip that follows this at 1:50 shows the same junction from Northumberland Street looking south towards the Odeon in Pilgrim Street before the bridge was built.

Totally agree. The wonderfully historic Grainger town has been allowed to deteriorate beyond belief. The City Council are under the impression that all people want when they visit the place is fast food , nails and hair salons . Many of the traditional shops went bust or moved out long ago . Many buildings are being turned into accommodation for the future when it follows Manchester in becoming a place where locals can't afford to live . Anyone coming for the nightlife will find a vast difference from 80s-90s . It's not progress as I see it , it's the exact opposite.

Lovely view of a Leyland-bodied Titan among the buses. The views probably date from 1968, for instance, the footbridge over Northumberland Street at Cook's Corner dates from that year. There are no trolleybus wires, which mean that the scenes are post 1966, whilst Market Street and Blackett Street are both one-way, effective from August 1967. There is a bus stop in Grey Street. No buses used Grey Street as long as Blackett Street was two-way. Bigg Market is still two-way; the massive one-way system round the Central Station was introduced in three stages in the autumn of 1968. Also visible is the old Town Hall, by then an exhibition centre. The Newgate Centre is under construction. Northumberland Street is still the A1, and many of the buildings depicted have disappeared for ever.

Why did the teenagers of this generation shun manners and respect and become fixated on rebellion and make degeneracy cool. Naturally when you have children and your children children have children you create a generation of degeneracy too. Not rocket science instead why don’t you people focus on your finances to put your children into a position where they’re around classy respectful people in private schools or home school them to create respectful children or work in a community centre to stop children from being influenced to do nonsense that would help there’s loads of ways to combat social degeneracy but you would rather complain on someone’s skin colour

It’s nothing to do with immigrants and more so to do with what is cool the 60s was the start of social degeneracy that shunned societal standards of modesty and respect hence why the mini skirts started to arise the only reason you considered london as good back then is because the older generation was still alive that had modesty and standards when the boomers grew up look how london started to spiral downwards when the older generation (there parents died) most of you are so focused on race you miss the root problem

If only you knew this was the very generation that started social degeneracy the boomers were too busy rioting and protesting for “freedom” which was just a play to make people hate each other and fill nations with drugs and rebellion then all the other generations fell down with this. Also in the 80s and 90s prison owners started owning record labels to induce further chaos and destruction and what you see from then to now is a continuation all you people are so small minded and built to hate each other you will never be united like this and see the bigger picture

Also they did a study that boomers who inherited valuable things such as there parents antique cars jewellery etc only 13% of boomers actually inherited anything to there children in the 60s when people started dressing down and manners and respect wasn’t cool anymore this lead to the downfall we see in society it has nothing to do with a race and everything to how they program society. You complain about Muslims but yet Dubai is one of the safest countries? Why do you think so much people and white people especially are going wake up stop thinking so small minded

When this generation of the 60s and 70s started going against manners and respect and was all about rebellion you can’t be a generation that is all for rebellion then when it spirals even worst in the younger generation you can’t complain when you started it. People only had manners and respect and modesty from there parents when the boomers of the 60s and 70s thought they can make there own rules you see the rubbish they left society

@@gavindouglas7020 look at anytime before the 50s and you will see black/Pakistani whatever were wearing suits respectful and had manners the only difference that changed was the societal views which led to complacency and disrespect to be the norm the world would’ve been entirely different if the boomers actually followed there parents And unfortunately children have no one for guidance even if they have parents because most parents act like there children most adults even dress like there teenagers so there’s no distinct difference between man and child so disrespect is easier look like a child get treated like one. Before there was distinct differences that differed a child from a man now there’s none.

Being young and daft I challenged her to nick a pair of wellies from the stall near the pillar box. Surprisingly she picked the cheapest pair and legged it . I tease her now about the challenge and this vid is like going back to the scene of the crime. First and only time stealing anything.

All the people saying Newcastle was better in the 60s and 70s need to get a grip. It was tougher and rougher than it is now. Gangs of bovver boys roaming west end and east end, tooled up looking for trouble, people living in slum conditions. A lot more punch ups in the pubs. It certainly wasn't cleaner either. It looked nicer before they tore down a lot of the beautiful Georgian and Victorian buildings, but that's it. The city was probably at its best in early 2000s.

The young men have certainly become softer and more feminised. Is that a good thing? It's likely the intention of the powers that be who don't want tough men who can stand up for themselves and their families. They want wimpy men who are pushovers and that's what we've got.

I didn't realize that the Newcastle buses were yellow prior to the Tyne and Wear PTE being formed in 1974.I suppose that they must have been run by Newcastle Corporation but others run by United and Northern,both later to become part of the National Bus Company, wouldn't have been yellow in the 60's.
