Amazing to think there are still people alive today who were around at this time, as young kids.

Absolutely amazing to see old buildings still standing. Thank you

My dad was born in 1930 and to see how life was for him growing up In Newcastle then is beautiful I just wish I could show him this he would have loved it he born and raised in Park Rd Elswick ty so much for putting this out there 🥰🥰🥰

It’s like going back in a time machine. Amazing. Imagine when these old films are 200, or 300 years old. They will give glimpses into the local past that people of the future will find incredible.

Fantastic footage of scenes that remain familiar today - thanks so much for sharing this great find.

Wow !!my lovely Jesmond done how buetifull it (((was )))

Thanks for posting the old film of Newcastle, my mom and dad were from there. It's nice to get a glimpse of what their home city looked like back in that time period when they would have been very young. They moved to Canada in the 50's.

great memories thank you very much

Thanks for uploading both videos, I work in a care home, looking after people who have dementia, and wonder what they were like during the 1930's. Some of them might have finished school or just got married, something like that or in their teens. I'm back on for my night shifts and I will look at the residents differently in respect with the fact that they were people doing day to day tasks and raising families, going to work like we do before they had this terrible disease. Also I find Newcastle fascinating with all its history.

Only just Geordie, the City Council had different ideas in the 1950's. They wanted with the help of developers to turn a beautiful city centre into a concrete jungle.

Simply beautiful

these are amazing thanks for sharing

Hi thanks for sharing this footage, I am the admin for Scotswood and the Great North East Group Found on Facebook, I will link this direct to share with the group, and why not become a member you might be surprised, thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for posting this. My Nanna and Grandpa were from Newcastle Upon Tyne, leaving England for jobs in the USA at Ford, but landing in farm work in Canada before finally settling in the Detroit area. My great-grandfather(nanna's father) was an engineer on ship that were hybrids, both sail and steam. I am still looking for the ship that was painted and hung over their England home, called the H.M.S. Helen Newton…anyone having a photo of that ship, I'd love to see it. Anyways - this is the ONLY view I have ever seen in movies of Newcastle Upon - so, thanks again!

It won't have been HMS Helen Newton as there hasn't been a Royal Navy ship of that name.

@@petertyson1112 This is probably why I have never been able to corroborate my Nanna's identification. Could it be...it was only called The Helen Newton; no Royal Navy Ship, but just a merchant type of vessel? My great grandfather was Thomas McCabe...ship engineer, according to my grandmother. Thank you kindly for bringing this to my/our attention. UPDATE: I found a Helen Newton iron ship(it would be a steamer with sail, as described by my grandmother, or I think so...anyway because of your comment, a search yielded this, where it was built in Sunderland, close to Newcastle. I'd love to see a photo of it, but does anyone know where and how to find one , if it even exists?

@@Reachowt you could try putting "Sunderland built ship" with the year and tonnage into Google and see what comes up? Probably not your particular ship, but something that would have been very similar. Even in the 19th century shipyards built standardised ships.

Amazing footage of Jesmond Dene.

Hope its OK to share this with, memory lane Gateshead site on F/B. My hubby recognised loads of these places and rode his bike across Jesmond Dene:s little bridge just last weekend.

this is fantastic, for me especially in the second film, the building of delaval road armstrong road, and forest road, then to see the mission hut at the bottom of delaval road absolutley brilliant, we went to sunday school in there as kids, late 50s early 60s, take a look at brittain from above and youll see the exact location of the hut, wonderful memories of scotchy , the world has certainley changed with a big question mark over "for the better" !!! jacqueline hollis

Look at the lack of cars on the road, with nett zero a look into the future?

Think that's wor lass 2.44
