My Clan are Geordies. My dear mother worked in Robert Sinclair tobbaco ware house on Westgate road 1946-49. Her Father was a Railwayman at the central station then too. This is the everday sights they will have saw. I miss both of them still. Thanks for this wonderfull video. God bless Newcastle and all our people.

Thanks lad, get yourself back sometime 👍

I was born in the mid 50's and whilst watching this was thinking of my mam and dad. They could have been on there. Magical

[@tonyanderton3521]

Beautiful. The city of my birth (1950s).

[@SusanTurner-yo9lf]

Amazing footage, never seen anything like this before from that early and very surprised at how much traffic there was. Only wish there was more!

[@1eyedot]

Fantastic. Pity it wasnt longer.

[@mickbidewell6481]

Lovely times and fantastic song ,oh the beauty of the melody and lyrics against the backdrop of a lost time , I guess thing’s must still have been hard, always have I guess but people were decent then

[@paulvallance4347]

Very evocative film with nice extended shots of streetlife. I wonder how this was made. Was the camera mounted on a car. It seems to weave in and out of thetraffic with ease.

I never knew trams existed in Newcastle, they should bring trams back

[@johnwatson7120]

If I only had a Time Machine I would go back to this. The way it should be in an English city. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@zeddeka]

Fascinating footage. Interesting to note how filthy so many of the buildings were from air pollution. The Clean Air Act didn't come into force until the 1950s. Everyday life, particularly in factory work, was an awful lot dirtier than today too and people were rather less scrupulous about hygiene. Many had baths once a week and that was it.

[@alex-E7WHU]

People were tougher and resilient in those days. Now everyone has an allergy and some sort of gender confusion.

[@PhilK1080]

Some of the buildings are still there esp on Percy St

[@DanJamesJames]

The women's fashions certainly look postwar, but surprisingly, there doesn't appear to be even one postwar vehicle. 1946, maybe?

Steve Kowalski was born in South Shields in 1952.

Dear England, what happened to you, oh it was the politicians and open borders 😢

It’s a shame they lost the team system in Newcastle.

[@leedsman54]

Footage of a lost world and way of life.

[@alandmorley]

No style anymore, such a shame. will it all come back?

[@Jeffybonbon]

We are all just passing through we are doing the same things today thats life Lot of nice things to see on the streets of Newcastle now we have a Campus and full of students from all over the world who will bring culture changes just as our own famles did when we came to the UK with the Normans

[@jean2740]

Good old beautiful newcastle as it was sad sad how it looks today, the two are do different today, its filthy dirty, and nothings resembles our once beautifull city😢😢😢😢

[@zeddeka]

You some kind of troll or something? Or just blind? The buildings in this video are utterly filthy from all the air pollution. The country was still a wreck from the war.

@@zeddeka My older relatives said it was better back then. And also a lot of people their age would strongly Agree.
