This video covers Newcastle upon Tyne's central motorway alongside the other schemes that were due to be built alongside this in the 1970's. At the time planners were identifying how to redevelop the city centre to handle the increase in car ownership.
Three more motorways were proposed. Central motorway West, Central Motorway East Bypass and a shields road motorway linking into newbridge street.
This also covers key development such as Swan House, Holy Jesus hospital and manors car park.
Colin Buchan's traffic in towns report was the reason for these radical changes proposed to the city centre.
