What a lovely town it used to be, really makes me sad to see what remains. The council should be appalled with what they've allowed to happen.

Brilliant. Thanks for posting this. Many happy memories of Castle back in the sixties. I'm sure most people watching this will feel - Where did the time go ??? ⏳⌛

I can remember way back when the ring road was being built. I also remember shops like Tikos and Halfords. I bought a Raleight Bomber bike from there back in 1983. It cost a hundred pounds which would be about 350 pounds in todays money!

Newcastle’s been vile for years. All the shops (rubbish ones too) are all shut, the good ones are all long gone. The only thing I go to is the cinema.

Pity there were no shots of the station and goods yard I loved it there, but otherwise a breath of my childhood.

Wonderful. That was like a time machine. I was born there in 1960. Does anyone remember the Tudor Rose Shoppe in The Ironmarket?

What kind of shop was it? I don't remember it and 5 years older than you. :)

A beautiful town, spoiled by The Tip at Wallys Quarry and poor decisions made.
