Everyone needs to belong to somewhere and if you have Newcastle in your heart you have everything going for you .there is no better feeling than when you come back home after being away a long time or a great distance .

Thank you. We knew every inch of Jesmond Dene in the 1960s/70s as it was in effect our playground ( we lived very near by). We were so lucky.

I live in sandyford and ìts great living so close to the dene.

The Grainger Market is still a place to visit. I get my cauliflowers there but never buy from greengrocers who don’t price them. It’s a proper wind-tunnel and can be damned cold in the winter. Full of character and characters 🙂

I loved the bit at 2.23 which showed the cars going across Armstrong bridge, Because I vaguely remember crossing that same bridge in My dads ford in the 1950's. I knew I hadn't dreamt it. The bridge is pedestrianised nowadays.

The Bigg Market is named after a type of coarse barley which was called “bigg” and was sold on many stalls there.

Back when the kids didn’t smack old ladies for a tenner

I worked on Osborne Rd. 1970-71 at the Avon and Northumbria hotels. Long gone now.

Those seem like much better happier times than today. And the people didn’t have anything. I’d go back and live back then in a heartbeat.

I do not think the brainwashed young these days would cheer the royal family anymore.

As for brainwashed young...how ironic is this... it's precisely because they are not brainwashed by the bbc et al that young people feel no alliegence to a half german bunch of privelidged aerosols. Doffing of the working class hat has been consigned to history... thank goodness and Karl Marx.

@@jimmycrosby Yes James but what about all the WOKE Brainwashing that goes on in schools and universities these days. Apparently children from the age of just 4 are indoctrinated with WOKE Theory. Also 75% of inner-city children are born to parents that were never born in the UK. They have virtually no respect for our history Culture or rules whatsoever.

It was far from perfect but at least it was our city back in those days instead of every body else's which is what it has become.

Hi, I'm making a documentary with a section about Newcastle and it's cinemas and would love to use some of this footage. Would it be possible for me to have permission to use this? I will give credit of course!

Hi Sarah, the early parts of this film were shot by my grandfather, Dr H. B. Porteous, whose son Ian is credited at the end. It would be lovely for our family if you could please credit him if you use any of the early material. We still hold the copyright. Please also credit NEFA, with whom the actual film resides. It's great that this film is reaching a wide audience via the web and documentaries such as yours. My grandfather bought his cine camera to record my father as a baby the same year as the Newcastle Exhibition which he also filmed. Dad is now 92 and will be pleased to see himself online. Thank you!

Is the narrator John Woodvine ?. If so he is a South Shields man.

God forgive them for what they have done to Britain and our peoples future bcos I can't forgive them

Back when people had decency and respect, no like today where everyone is a spoilt, lazy and arrogant show off...
