Vintage pictures and old photos of Blaydon-on-Tyne and Winlaton, at the western edge of Gateshead in Tyne & Wear.
Many of the buildings have been demolished, as has the old Scotswood Bridge which was not wide enough for modern traffic.
One of my previous videos looks at nearby Axwell Park - • Old Photos of Axwell P...
Many thanks to Newcastle Libraries' Service.

That was interesting , as a kid I used to go on holiday to Winlaton from London where I was born. Mum was from Swalwell and Dad from Whickham . Dad went into the army in '39 and settled in London . Very happy memories of my holidays leaving Kings Cross in the evening and arriving at Newcastle Central in a different country where everyone spoke a foreign language . Stayed at the top of Blaydon Bank at an aunts house , grandparents lived off Shibdon Bank , by the now sports fields. I now live in New Zealand and was back there five times from 2004 - 2006 to find family.

Thank you for sharing about those happy times up here. A lot will have changed even since you last visited, some of it for the better, but those precious childhood memories always stay with us.

Excellent. I'm from the east end of Newcastle, but enjoy seeing all the old pictures.

All the old pictures of North East England are fascinating. So much has changed beyond all recognition.

Thank you for your kind words, which are particularly appreciated as I got knocked sideways by covid this week. I wondered what Blaydon and Winlaton would have looked like today if all the old buildings had been left alone. Would it be a lovely set of historic streets to live in, or a traffic nightmare?

@@localhistoryvideos Thank you for your response and hope you are feeling better.Most of the buildings were quite old but a lot of them could have been renovated.Most of the housing in Blaydon consisted of old Tyneside flats which were past their sell by date.Winlaton where I lived was very nice but seventy years ago still had a village feeling.A lot of the fields have now been built on.When I was young we still had a village blacksmith as did Blaydon.I loved to watch the local blacksmith shoeing one of the big draught horses from one of the local farms.Happy days.Cheers.

One of the streets which got pulled down, wasn't it? Was she still around when the demolition firms came in?

Yes I was looking for some quite ghostly music, because so many of the streets once busy with local residents and workers were completely wiped away in the twentieth century, leaving so little behind

The style of music, is rather fitting I thought.
