This is tv documentary worthy !

I'm an old Welshman, but I remember Geordie coal miners in South Wales, because of the closure of local mines. Same as it ever was, the working class get the short end of the stick.

Great video, I’m from Spain and went to Newcastle College in 2003. I lived for 2 years in one of those student accommodation flats in Crudas Park! didn’t know then anything about the history of the area. Great content! Geordie forever

Im 56 and lived in high rise flat in Benwell with my parents in the 70s, left home at 17 after my dad died and got a flat in the Beeches Cruddas Park, lived with my fiance in a flat in Buddle Street, walked along Scotswood Road to College and back, I remember all the terraces and the pubs. Drank in the Robin Adair, the Villa Victoria and the Chieftain on the shopping centre. Walked to Newcastle to work when the Benwell riots happened and the buses refused to go to the area. This video has made me very sad and nostalgic. The people were the best and I have fond memories. Best video I have seen on the area. Keep them coming!

Excellent video Eddie, I was born in Arthurs Hill in 1958 and I went to Rutherford school, I remember one day a Tank from Vickers came rumbling down the West road, the whole school was shaking. It was a bit sad when you highlighted the demise of the heavy industry that kept people so many people employed, If Vickers were still going the West end would be a different place today .

We had to choose 3 schools to go to ,aged 11 . Rutherford was always top of the list but I went to Kenton - loved it

Born in the general hospital , first 3 houses were in Elswick then Scotswood , moved to Blakelaw when I was 16 until I left home at 21 and got my first flat in Benwell until I was 29 . I could see the writing was on the wall and there was no way I was bringing my kids up in my beloved west end . Moved to Cramlington and love it here but the west end still tugs on my heartstrings , I still drive through it at least once a week varying my routes and I find it hard to believe the state of it . We all know who and what's to blame , no it's not what you think !! It's the likes of the government and local councils who have allowed this decimation of the area , they only care for themselves and don't have to live among it . Don't get me on or I'll be here all week . Brilliant video as usual Eddie .

I try to tell the story of the difference between being poor and poverty. Up until the 1970’s people had work. They were poor but proud. Like other council estates, of which I grew up, families didn’t know they were poor. The destruction of the west end has left living people in abject poverty and a destroyed community

Another great video Eddie lad, Im Born and Bred west end, Sctchy and Benwell have lost their identities and the west rd has been lost to other cultures, lack of investment and employment and moving out of families has destroyed the communities we had.

My grandad was a works Policeman (security ) for Vickers after the 2nd War and he told us some hilarious stories about the blokes who tried to smuggle stuff out. Like the winter of 48 a bloke in a ex army greatcoat fell over by the gate the security lads and his mates could not lift him up he was that heavy with the amount of brass offcuts stuffed in his coat. Another one with an army great coat and a flat cap was a tall thin bloke held up by two of his mates when checked it was a oxygen gas bottle with a coat hanger attached to bulk it out. My grandad loved that job and strangely he was always well liked even thogh he did a security role. The lads gave him a great send off when he retired we went to pick him up from the pub and he was well pickled. Happy days different times.

He only went back for weddings, funerals etc. but for some reason these nostalgic videos tug at my heart strings.

@@TynesideLife Vickers was targeted, however luckily never hit. Though the Luftwaffe did come close in April 1941 during the Newcastle Blitz, when they targeted heavy industry along the Tyne (including the newly built aircraft carrier, HMS Victorious). Fortunately Vickers-Armstrong and the Victorious were not hit. Though sadly, during the raid civilians were killed as houses were hit around Tyneside. Such as the raid of April 25th 1941, where 47 people were killed in one night. I recommend a few books on this including Tyneside at War by Clive Hardy/Paul Harris and Tyneside In The Second World War by Craig Armstrong.

Spot on as that is what happened

I lived in Northbourne Street (Elswick) from the '70s till the '90s, which brought back a lot of memories, Vickers used to test their tanks up & down the street, as it was that steep. I used to knock around Noble Street, till it got pulled down, very bad place to live in. not much left of the old West end now.

They're running East to West because people like evening sunlight. Eddie, I love that you've done this. Top quality research, great footage from back in the day. Perhaps you could look for some modern-day positives. We're a resilient bunch; some interviews with West-End residents might have added some perspective, and an element of hope.

This was a grim reminder. Basically a video about why I and so many others left Tyneside for an new life. The loss of heavy industry caused a sizable Geordie diaspora.

Well done Eddie, great video and some excellent archive footage that I've never seen before. I was born on Gerald St in 1951, the extended family occupied three homes within 50yards or each other, Gerald St, Armstrong Rd and Joan St. The two most abiding memories I have of those days were my chronic respiratory problems involving many prolonged stays in Newcastle General. This was cured by moving to Fenham when I was 9 years old. The water running down the walls, the freezing draughty rooms and chronic air pollution undoubtedly the main cause of my health problems. Some days the air itself was an orangy yellow colour, from the factory chimneys and open coal fires in all the houses. The other memory was learning that not ALL the local women were my Aunties, I was in my early teens before this fact dawned on me :) Happy days??? (but it could have been a short life).
