My Clan are Geordies. My dear mother worked in Robert Sinclair tobbaco ware house on Westgate road 1946-49. Her Father was a Railwayman at the central station then too. This is the everday sights they will have saw. I miss both of them still. Thanks for this wonderfull video. God bless Newcastle and all our people.

I'm guessing late sixties

That awful dark hole that was Eldon Square bus concourse...

When traffic used to go round Grey's Monument!

If you look past the Hancock I think buses were still using the Jesmond Road junction of Great North Road. Must be before the Central Motorway constructed start of the 70’s?

1960s. Where are all the ethnic minorities? Maybe the BBC have got it wrong!

great to see how the world once was where are all the fatties and people on phones

born 1959... bloody good year....i watch this and think of all the family and friends,,,,that were,,,alive and well,,,sadly now gone... along with my wife....i was a bus driver for 37 years in the city center... those corparation bus,,ss are a sight to behold....never mind........... the memorys are there... for now at least.....

I am so happy that people took the time to make little films like this for history

That's the Newcastle I grew up in, and still live there today. I used to love trying all the hats on in fenwicks still waiting for them to come back in fashion.

A small detail of the peak of western civilization. Thanks for posting.

If only we knew what was coming, well some of us did, the rest didn’t want to listen.

Just like 1960s SUNDERLAND.

I was born her in 1965, It is almost unbelievable to see what has happened to our once Great Country in 60 years ?

We are all just passing through we are doing the same things today thats life Lot of nice things to see on the streets of Newcastle now we have a Campus and full of students from all over the world who will bring culture changes just as our own famles did when we came to the UK with the Normans

I was 12 then Geordie born and bred

Great to see...cars driving around the Greys monument.

Great video. Thank you.

Been down Northumberland Street lately?

Everything looks so prosperous and well cared for. Loads of buses running when public transport was still State owned. No-one homeless and having to beg in the street, everyone well dressed. It's a real pity how some people's greed has been allowed to destroy the country.

How I wish I was there and NOT in 2020s UKplc/Blackrock.

Like others on this thread, I was born in 1960. We have certainly had the very best of times. This country is finished now.

How smart everyone looks! I was about five then and remember going to church in a little red coat and white hat and muffler!!❤

When Newcastle was Newcastle, I've never been there since the 1990s and have no intention of ever going back, I just a couple miles away in the Swalwell/Whickham area, in fact I can see the Milburn stand of St. James' Park from my landing window

these films should be on the school curriculum instead of filling kids heads full of BS

When Britain was Britain.

Hard to believe that Northumberland street was the A1 , Grey's monument was a roundabout and traffic flowed without any problems . Look at the state of it now , it's literally impossible to get from one end of the city to the other ..!!

Newcastle was such a great city with phenomenal nightlife in the 60s,70s,80,90s and noughties however like the rest of the UK it turned into what it is today , a one night city deteriorating at an ever increasing rate I was fortunate to experience all the good times it offered and while we may have more wealth, highly advanced technology and greater travel opportunities nowadays we didnt have the social division , level of crime or drug use nor the ludicrous level of wokeness that has come in the last 20 years all of which has contributed into making the UK such a toxic country

So much more crowded with pedestrians then

Thank-you Mr Blair and now Comrad Starmer for destroying our city.

The future is black thanks to the disgusting Labour Party and the scum who support it.

Not a DEI insight.

The LABOUR and TORY Traitors should be in prison for destroying our wonderful mono culture into the middle east §hit hole it is today. NO ONE GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO DESTROY BRITAIN. Vote REFORM to get OUR country back.

Love your video Paula Geordie London 40yrs now lived now 70yrs

I'm a Geordie from Gateshead but. I loved visiting Newcastle, I met a lass from Newcastle we're still together today, This footage is before my time. I was born. In the early 80s, Newcastle looks so lovely back then and so was Gateshead shame what's happened to Geordie land

Great footage, very nostalgic.

No fatties?

Lucky to live during those times I’m 65 breaks my heart to see what this country has become 🥲

Bring back the yellow buses

I'd guess 1968? I was 8 that year. Great footage. Love Newcastle.

That's was the good old days when I was growing up ..... All sadly now GONE 😞

Fantastic!

2 mins 43 in and thats a young me crossing Raby Street ...happy days

No style anymore, such a shame. will it all come back?

I never knew trams existed in Newcastle, they should bring trams back

Wish I could of been there!❤❤

Shame we couldn't still live like that

Look at everyone looking very smart and DAPPA

Great

A people betrayed.
