There's sadly so so many cities gone much the same way. The perfect example is how swiftly so many of those little independent sports shops have just evaporated from our towns & cities. Only JD & Sports Direct seem to control the monopoly now and they are 80% leisure wear, trackie tops or replica shirts of the "London/NW big six" or PSG/Barca/Real Madrid. You'll find a Newcastle United shirt, but only in Newcastle. Shops need the support to keep competitive with online shopping. I visit the area from Norfolk to see the family every so often & all I can do is look in the city centre & reminisce about how much nicer it was in the 70s/80s, especially when the Metro was only just built & you could come in from the Coast in around 25mins, get anything, then just hop on a train home. Now, I just come in & hope some shops still exist from my last visit, meanwhile the Metro fare's been ramped up yet again 😢

Your anecdote about your dad taking you to football very early reminds me of a story about my dad. He wasn't really a football fan but wanted to see what it was like so he went on his own to see West Ham play. He's a gentlemen sort (exactly like Foyle off the tv). He stood half-way between two pillars for a good view (Pre all-seater). As people poured in he was jostled and excused-meed until when the game started he was behind a pillar and couldn't see the pitch very well...then people started pissing up the pillar. He never went again lol. Anyways great vid, great pubs found, like the architecture comments, cathedral nice, band...erm...not too sure about them lol. What a place to park though!

I’ve never been to Newcastle, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of the gorgeous buildings. Looked and sounded like a good gig 👍

Once you move out of the city there are some rougher places and depressed places. But the city centre itself has always had some great buildings and places to drink and eat

I used to live in Byker in the 90s, and my big treat was going for a cappuccino in Pani's Italian cafe on High Bridge. It was fantastic, and I think its still going.
