  Not just the houses they pulled down they destroyed a community, was like a huge extended family😢

  I loved !! Byker it was friendly the people where smashing. And there wasn't a better place to live , both my parents came from there. And it was a real community. And yes you could leave your door on the latch. And I personally think it started to decline about 20 years ago, as the council started to pull down places like Elswick/cowgate/😅benwell/, and people from those areas started to move there , and I think it was 30odd year ago the labour council started to pull down old byker And rebuild , it was NEVER !!! the same , now not a safe place people not the original byker folk , so r.i.p.

  I’m only 39 so never experienced what my dad calls old byker, however I do have amazing memories of visiting my gran and her friends who were relocated from the old houses to the new builds. I don’t know why I feel such a strong connection to the place I wasn’t even around when they pulled it down. I think it could be growing up listening to my mam and dads stories of their first little house they had there when my brother was born - it was the start of their life together they went on to bring my sister and myself into the world where they eventually settled in walker. Even looking back when I grew up things aren’t the same 😔

  The year I came Newcastle for a few months, they phased these trains out, but didn't mean I didn't get to explore Newcastle on these. I loved these. I miss Newcastle but love watching videos to remind me of the city.

  There is beauty in the ugliness. Here are the bones and soul of something that once lived and gave protection to those who lived within. There would have been tears shed within these sturdy walls, and laughter and anger and most likely hunger - and here I am today, miles away in another city, a complete world away, yet my memory of dear Newcastle is like a shiny new pin that will lie with me when this is all over. 🥲

  @oddities-whatnot2 ай бұрын

  Always amuses me when you get people on various property news feeds on social media, all going on about how new houses today are badly made and wont last as long as old houses. That in itself is a joke, old houses were once new but a lot have been demolished through the years as they were deemed “slums” and not fit for habitation. I think a lot of people today, particularly Millennials and Gen Z have no idea what they are talking about regarding so many topics, as most of their “expertise” and knowledge has been taken from countless places on the internet which for anyone with an ounce of common sense will know there is a lot of absolute rubbish out there.

  Problem there with new houses built nower days it's all crap building materials they use nower days and they could never withstand as long as the old building fact , me dad was a builder in that time ,and always said till he died the building of today will never be around in a hundred years, unlike the buildings from 200 years ago that some still standing . I gor one live in a over 100 year old property, and that speaks for its self

  It was not a slum,it was a community,where people looked out for one another, The houses were older and not up to modern standards, but it wasn’t a slum,their was no graffiti,no litter,a far better time to live !

  Although broadcast in 1994, some of the footage is from the late 80s. The destination indicator changing to Benton, is one thing that went out of use by 1990, when they were replaced by dot matrix ones. And, at Whitley Bay, the route map is pre Airport extension (1991).

  I did not travel on this line until 1971, despite having been brought up in Newcastle. There was one afternoon train from Central Station on Mondays to Fridays which took this route. To do the line in the opposite direction at this time was much more difficult; the only train to Newcastle ran early in the morning; for some odd reason, the only afternoon train to Newcastle started at Willington Quay; there was no train on the Percy Main - Willington Quay link in the afternoon. It was also great to see a photo of St Anthonys Station, which closed in 1960, and also one of the North Tyneside electric trains. The electric trains last ran in 1967, and the Riverside Line closed on 23 July, 1973. There was no weekend service, so the last trains ran on the previous Friday.
