Excellent video, nice to see someone be so complimentary on the city. Like all places, we have our issues but there is a sense of pride in where we live that seems to be lacking elsewhere. Byker/Wallsend/Walker are deprived places in the East End that brings common problems with it, but majority of the people are salt of the earth and hard working. Areas in the West End like Arthur’s Hill and Elswick are equally as deprived but there are signs of regeneration, the city as a whole has gone through several cycles of change and I feel like we’re currently in another one given the poor economic climate, times are hard but the city and it’s people always survive and thrive. Keep up the good work with the videos, cheers.

Because it’s cheap

I enjoyed this. I've been to Newcastle a few times, and it's a nice place. It's a bit rough in some parts, but it's the same everywhere.

I live in Heaton, which is just on the other side of Shields Rd to Byker. I know Shields Rd very well. It’s not at all dangerous, but it is run down. You may have seen the big white fronted building with shutters on the front. When I was a kid in the 80s, that was Parishes Department Store. Further down the street where the British Heart Foundation Furniture shop is now was another Department store called Beavans. They used to be thriving and it was a street full of greengrocers, Butchers, Electrical Shops, Hardware shops, Banks. It’s in a sorry state to how it once was. As for the Byker Wall, I’ve never had or seen any bother when I’ve been through there, but I can’t comment from what it’s like as a resident. As for Wallsend, again it’s a bit run down in parts but again I’m often in Wallsend and it’s fine. You pronounce Segedunum ‘Seg eh do num’. You shouldn’t think of Hadrian’s Wall in terms of modern day England and Scotland. It’s course is entirely in England and whilst in the West it’s only a few miles from the border, at Newcastle and Wallsend, it’s 60 odd miles south of the border. In Roman times the area was inhabited by the Brigantes and the Votadini tribes who both lived on either side of the wall. Post Roman times it was the Kingdom of Bernicia which stretched from the Forth (beside Edinburgh) to down to the Tees. Bernicia then merged with Deira (comprising mainly of modern day Yorkshire) to form the Kingdom of Northumbria. Whilst the Picts were up in Northern Scotland. So the entire notion of Hadrians Wall being a border with Scotland or built to keep the Scots out is entirely incorrect.

Sheilds road is a shit hole but definitely not the worst in the country. As other commentators have said theres worse places in the city than byker and we dont have any of the issues that citys down south have like the gangs and knife crime. But it is getting worse. Going east to west, wallsend, walker, byker, benwell, elswick and scotswood were all heavy industy with ship building all along the river and the munitions factories in scotswood. When the factories closed there was high levels of deprivation that a lot of the communities never recovered from. Wallsend and walker werent bulldozed to the level the other areas were with a lot of the west end terraces replaced by blocks of flats and byker being replaced by the byker wall. There was a plan to build a massive motorway behind the wall soone side just has a few windows dotted about as the wall was planned to shield the community from the noise and dirt from the motorway. But it was never built and as you pointed out the estate is like a maze. The problem came that if you knew the maze you were fine but if you didnt people could vanish so it was a hotbed for crime. The city is pretty clean and tidy and as much as we have rough areas like byker you can walk around pretty much anywhere and not get bothered. Oh and segedunum is pronounced seg-a-doon-um Great video though looking forward to part 2

Shields Road is now an immigrant ghetto which was once a thriving shopping street back in the day. Stop the boats

Just discovered you mate and I'm loving the style

A bit of interesting information to add to this enjoyable video. Directly across from the church you passed in Wallsend is where Sting was brought up. His home was above the Chinese takeaway. Peace.

Brilliant video. Thank you for shining such a positive light on our amazing area. You said you were ending in South Tyneside which I assumed must have been Marsden rock.

With all the lovely architecture, I was wondering how badly hit Newcastle was during the war, it looks like it escaped the worst of it?

@@mickymouze1224 with Byker being close to the River Tyne it got bombed in '41 I believe. Bombers used the river as a guide because there was a munitions factory (Vickers) on the banks of the Tyne towards the West end of the city.

@@WomanNextDoor Thanks for the reply. Newcastle does look a great city which is good to see when so many other towns & cities across UK are clearly struggling.

Ahh my home town Newcastle upon Tyne I live not far from Byker ( Walker) 😊

Did you go to Marsden grotto xx

The Roman Wall part of the video . Its pronounced SEGA DUNE AM. .yes a strange pronunciation .well they were ITALIAN those ROMAN SOLDIERS and it was over two thousand years ago when they were trying to learn the GEORDIE language. .ì but thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. I was waiting for the bar that you said you were gonna finish in the cave. You never showed it.

Byker and Wallsend aint that bad - lived in Newcastle all my life. Lovely place to live and great friendly people. Well worth a visit anyone think of visiting

There are some nice suburbs in Brum, you must have missed them. The Times said Moseley was the best suburb to live anywhere in the country a couple of years ago and Stirchley the best place to live in the Midlands the other week. I love Brum to be honest and have never felt unsafe anywhere and I'm in my 60's. The Canal system around Gas Street and Brindley place is impressive, should go back and check them.out.

Yeah I’m going to go back in the summer, I was focusing on the bad side of things for the theme of the video. Having said that driving around the city it was tough to feel positive about the place when so much of it is in such a state. Shame, because almost everyone I met was friendly.

@@GoingGlobull Start out around the Cathedral and Walk down Colmore Row to Victoria sq and through Chamberlain sq, up through Centenary sq and past the library. Walk through the convention centre and cross the canal to Briindley place. Come back on yourself to the canal and Gas Street basin and through the Mailbox and back to New Street Ststion. You won't see hardly any litter or Graffiti and would have walked a fair distance and taken in some impressive architecture. I think you owe Brum this! Also visit Bournville and the village Green and some of the cafe's there etc.

Nice one, thanks. The Brum video was a learning experience for me. I wasn’t expecting to see half of the things I do or have the conversations I had off camera about the problems there. That no doubt influenced my feeling and how I made the video. That said, what I showed is at least some of the reality of the city which shouldn’t be hidden.

My home town, doesn't get enough good press, it's better than it was.

You mean your benefits money buys it the tax payer 😅😅

I lived in one of the estates in byker wall from 13 to 23 and found it ok even shields rd was the height of activity not like its like now

West Rd not that bad …try remember the shops was empty for years now every shop is open and has some of the best food going ,even the old Plaza bandit place is being done up ….ice cream - cakes - Indians - Chinese - Subway - plenty spice Kebabs shops ….and let’s not forget the Barber shops …..and now Westgate Hill is being open back up …The West Rd is a busy place ,a try dodge it for traffic unless I need the TSB bank ….the only thing that spoils it there’s large groups of men hanging around outside bookies every day .Back lanes are we’re ya need to pass ,rubbish mental…but same everywhere now ……West Rd is a must for food and haircut that’s for sure ,just my own opinion and very busy day and night

We have a beautiful city big up the geordies xx
