Very interesting video Eddy. I always feel proud to be a Geordie, and love the history of our home city. When my Dad was in the RAF and we moved all over the country, my grandparents would bring me back for Christmas, and I was always thrilled to see the Tyne Bridge. I always thought I'd come back home. Keep up the good work sir.

[@TynesideLife]

Glad you enjoyed the video 😊👍🏻 I used to love coming back home on leave too and seeing those magnificent bridges. My Uk tours were RAF Lyneham, Brize Norton and Odiham where I did 2 years on the Chinook helicopters. Did you get to any of these?

[@DJ-jn3on]

Oh no, but I'm not sure if my Dad did his basic training at Brize Norton? We were posted to Turnhouse, Finningley, Cranwell and finally Boulmer. We were going to be sent to Cyprus in the 70's, but the trouble kicked off there,so that was cancelled. I've always regretted it,not joining the military, but still collect a lot of books on the people who served the Queen and country. :)

Excellent production Eddie. I don't know where the pub 'The Strawberry' got it's name from, same for 'The Cooperage' in a 'Cave' on the River Tyne side (under a bridge?), Where did 'The Leazears Park' derive it's name from - and how much of 'Hadrians Wall' still exists in Newcastle, between 'the West End' and 'Wallsend' (and one from me is there any booklet etc on the locations used in 'When The Boat Comes In' - by far the best period drama to be on TV, plus was there ever a stage production of the fantastic show?). Keep your productions flowing - put Newcastle Upon Tyne back on the map (I had relations working down the pits at Greenside, where the Metro Centre is Now - an item on the pits around Newcastle would be most welcome too). Great work.

[@TynesideLife]

Great message William! I did a video about The Strawberry and the name dates back to the 1700’s when the nuns of St Bartholemews in Newgate tended the strawberry gardens.

I've always wanted to ask a Scott or a Geordie this question. Is there an affinity shared between the Scotts and the Geordies more than the rest of England? If so, is it only geographical?

[@hibbeh]

@@Chez114 My love of the toon was from the entertaining football on display in the early 90's when I was in high school. My dad is a Man U fan so It was not due to any sort of affinity nor due to geographical location. It being closer to home and not as far to travel was just an added bonus for me. The welcome I received from the Geordies I met in the Strawberry when I attended my first ever game will always be remembered for me too. Just a magical club with magical fans. If I was to move house to any other city in the UK it would only be Newcastle. HWTL
