I was 8 year old in 1972. My 3 older brothers where rag men. They would take me to collect the horse and carts from the Jackie stables. The man was called Jackie who they rented the Horse and carts from I forget his second name. No one cared what anyone had or didn't have them days. Everyone looked after everyone else. Every week my oldest brother would pull up in the back lane for my Mam and the other Mothers in the street to go through the rags he had picked up all day long. I had to be there with my other 8 brothers and sisters while my man tried the old but good clothes up against us. There was no shame then. Times have changed for the worse thats for sure. I sit hear in tears to think how hard my Parents had it my Father worked in the Slaughter house on scotswood road. My mother had 10 kids to look after. But the bigger ones helped with the new born. That's how women then where good strict mothers they learned from having their little siblings when babies. God bless my Parents, I miss them so much. Thank you for the wonderful memories..

You could hear the horse coming from way off over the cobblestones . I was so skinny then , the rag man used to give me a couple of sweets when he came round , and that was a treat during rationing, heaven knows where he got them from 🤔 Great old pictures.

Sad to see the once busy streets now so run down. Can’t the city council modernise the buildings and keep the heritage of the area intact, or is that too much to ask? Newcastle town planners from the 60’s onwards have destroyed the old soul of the area. All of old Byker being demolished was an act of cultural vandalism. All those old streets could’ve been modernised, all the wonderful old hotels and Victorian pubs saved. But no, no sense of preserving the community. T Dan Smith has a lot to answer for.

You can’t tell me that people weren’t much happier in those days than they are now. This country and our culture is dying out very quickly in the modern multiculturalist age. If I could go back to those days forever I would do it in a heartbeat.
@martinkulkarni35692 жыл бұрын
‘Your’ culture isn’t dying out. Cultures evolve. It has more to do with the monstrous governments we have had in this country, turning neighbour against neighbour. Serving peoples self-interest selfishness and greed. Instilling, encouraging, and propogating racism and bigotry in our society. This includes Tony Blair who should have been prosecuted as a war criminal.
