- In this video I walk along the River Tyne with my two Collies from Bill Quay in Gateshead to Newcastle.
Along the way we discuss various points of interest, as well as catch up on some football news.
We then head into Newcastle’s oldest pub and find out some of it’s dark secrets, dating back to 1582! - Навчання та стиль
nice to see the pub again, it was my first local so to speak, as in every weekend for 2 or 3 years from 74 to 76, some good memories and one or two proper horror stories tnx
Glad you liked the video bud 👍🏻
Left for Australia in 70s as a child great memories playing in and around the town castle train station thanks for letting me into the history amazing stuff let’s hope we can stay up
Glad you enjoyed it Peter 👍🏻
Love sitting outside the Old George , even funnier when my dad who’s 66 always turns round after a few pints and says “ya na this is the oldest pub in Newcastle son “
Haha! Love it! 👊🏻
Very true it is wonder they haven't pulled it down ,cos Newcastle good at pulling down anything victorian
Just found your channel but loving each video! Natural on camera and an encyclopaedia for the north east would be interesting to make videos about the castles around! Great work!
Hank you very much! 🙏🏻 definitely doing a castle video! And one on the town wall 👍🏻
You get yourself around ,we walk along the Riverside a lot from gateshead side love that walk never tire of it in all weather's clears the head 😀
Wonder if we’ve passed each other Jean
Love your dogs Eddy and so well behaved and thanks for another good history lesson and your adventures abroad. I lived in the beautiful Island of Jersey for 25 years and was a driver guide for a couple of seasons. When Charles the first was executed his young son escaped to Jersey with his mother and a very large group of servants and stayed on Jersey for a short time. During the short stay it cost his hosts a fortune for such a large group and were glad to see him go at the end before going to France. There he stayed until he returned to England to become Charles the second. When he was king he never forgot the kindness from Jersey and granted many privileges to the Island.
Thanks for the kind message Nic 🙏🏻
That’s fascinating stuff! I’m going to read up on that thank you very much!
Another great video Eddy and great to meet you before the Burnley match along with Adam
#topyoutubers 👍
Nice to meet you too Paul 👊🏻
The oldGeorge Pub yes god it's been there forever my dad used to go there on a Sunday as a reward for working all week ,its all changed inside now
Great video Eddie! Good to see you walk along the Tyne showing off our beautiful city - really enjoyed that! The Old George Pub was one of my favourites when I was a young lass out on the town.
That means as lot, thank you Suki 🙏🏻 Really glad you enjoyed it
I forgot Bill Quay Farm existed. Lived in Pelaw before moving to Darlington later on as a kid. I remember spending a lot of time there now that you brought this back. We got burgled once and they stole a case with the family documents, we found out when Bill Quay farm rang us about our passports thrown all over the place in the morning (they ditched the case).
Will be checking out that pub soon for sure. Looking forward to your next informative tour and game coverage!
Thanks again Jan 😁
Love your videos Eddie. I live in Australia and its great to see the lifestyle of Newcastle and also enjoy the football news of my great club. Kerp them coming.
Cheers Stephen 🙏🏻
Really glad you’re enjoying them 👍🏻
Try bein a toon fan indeed son.. wouldn't change it for quids though... my Australian Football team hadn't won a premiership for 57 year until last season so hopefully our boys can grab some silverware in the coming years also.. hello to Lilly and Setu for us and keep up the great work, always a pleasure watching your content mate..
Thanks for the great message Jimmi. I did the whole Everton thing to set up my punchline at the end but I’m not sure if anyone got the joke 😫
Another great video Eddy, many thanks.
My pleasure Tom 🙏🏻
I've recently stumbled across your UA-cam channel, and just got to say I absolutely love it, I'm currently going back through your vids and look forward to all future ones.
That’s brilliant thank you 🙏🏻 really glad you’re enjoying them 👊🏻

Another history lesson Ed ,nice one ,yes the old George was one of the first pubs I tried when I was a young kid ,it didn't look like that ,lol.Looks really nice now .Im expecting the lads to give Leicester a game on Sunday, going for a win.Glad those sports redirect signs coming down ,end of 14 years of being chained.Enjoy the game at the weekend mate
Cheers Raymond 👊🏻
Aye I think they’ll give it a go. We need something, with Liverpool and Man City finding their stride 😬
I checked out them tweets and news reports mate. So im a bit more clued up now. Another great video mate. I had a feeling you were very local to me mate.
Where do you live?
Nice pub the Old George. Always a good pint.
Cracking 👍🏻
Love the Olde George!
Me too 👍🏻
Good video again Eddy. I really enjoyed that. Fingers crossed for the Toon against Cambridge. The Old George looks nice, but will never go in there. :)
Cheers mate. 👊🏻 We’ll have a second string team out for sure so it’s a lottery really
Always loyal to our home footy team Eddy.Sometimes,I use loyal to the bitter end. Quite a common occurrence supporting Newcastle. Just the odd great feeling. :)
Cracking vid Eddy. Was hoping for a wrap review
😂 glad you liked it 👊🏻
not been to Old George for years..probably 8 or 9 years..love the pub...dunno if they still have the fireplace...they used to have a real fire and in winter you just did not want to leave the pub !!...just sit near the fireplace
True 👍
Awesome mate, currently studying human geography at Northumbria Uni so I've found myself watching your vids a lot as I love learning more about the city
Wow cheers Michael 🙏🏻
Just watched the video about the OLD GEORGE and in it you mentioned Cumberland. My maternal grandmother comes from Aspatria. I was wondering if you did any videos of Cumberland and Aspatria in particular, plus where can I find them if you did.
Great vid,loved your Everton pitying themselves rant,made me chuckle
Haha! I don’t think many people got my joke if Newcastle fans having stay in the ground longer to do a 65 minute protest 😂
@@TynesideLife borderline comedy genius lol
@@jasmineblack9778 you’re right 😅
I'm make a mental note of all these pubs & cafes you visit Eddy. Will certainly visit them whenever in town. What's the story with the climbing rope over the shoulder ? Is it the lead for the dogs ? Seen it often in your videos
When I was doing my mountain leader training I used my old climbing rope to make two dog leads.
Glad my videos are inspiring you bud 👍🏻
Full of surprises lovely man. Great video...
Thank you 😊🙏🏻
@@TynesideLife hi there, apologies for not replying sooner. No need for a mention, just grateful for the super relevant and interesting content. Thank you. Jus
@@justinfletcher1882 thanks again 👍🏻
Have you just donated another £15? 😲
The oldest thing in this vid was yee. Lol. The old George is a mint pub. Haven't been there for 20 years + though. Love ya video though!
You’re not wrong there 😅 glad you liked it 👊🏻
Love the vids Eddie. Easily the best NUFC chat going and with heritage, food and drink mixed in. What more could a man want.
Cheers bud 🙏🏻 That’s exactly what I’m aiming for 👊🏻
Cool names for your 2 border collies
🐕
I'm delighted for you Guys that those Eyesore tacky signs are coming down.
The Everton fans make me laugh, I'm sure that they are just so jealous of Liverpool. I have seen my team nearly go out of business, relegated to league one and in 2016 bought by a Mad Man but I never considered walking out.
The Old George looks great, I do love Pubs with character.
You have those Dogs well trained Eddie.
Cheers John 😊 I love them to bits.
I thought it was quite comical too 😂
True 👍
great vid mate :)
Cheers bud 🙏🏻
Lush dogs m8 im a lurcher man both crosses with collies loving your vids and history lessons
You’re a top bloke in my books then 👊🏻
@@TynesideLife thumbs up Eddie
great vid again ,but the borders are the stars ,you already know that !
The Borders? 😅
@@TynesideLife collies
@@MrTomomahony ahh, yes of course 😆
Buetifull dogs 🐕
Ghosts in pubs...ya can draw your own conclusions of that...🍺🍺🤪
The ghost aspect is just for entertainment. I don’t personally believe in ghosts but the pub claim it is haunted by King Charles and a dog walker 😅
See ghost after a few JARS ha ha ha.
Growing up in Merseyside and living in the North West I have to say I know a lot of Everton fans personally and I always find it hard to listen to them when they moan about the lack of trophies being a Toon fan they want to walk in our shoes 😂 on record I sometimes say that to them Haha
Great comment bud. I hope you get my joke about our toon fans whilst talking about Everton 😅
Great vids m8. Is the George dog friendly?
Yes mate 👍🏻
Howay Eddie...I want the South Shields match son...
Eh? 😂
Just watched you at the South Shields Football match on the television son...I am a European Cup Winner with South Shields Football Club In Maastricht Holland In 1989...I would have thought with our connection you would put South Shields up as fast as humanly possible...
I always though the crown posada was the oldest
Nope. Second oldest. Old George is by far the oldest bud
Getting a bit of a niche for yourself Eddie, only a good thing, onwards and upwards. 😉
Cheers Davey. Most of the other channels are carbon copies of each other and I think it’s best to be different and I’m trying to stamp my personality into this business 👊🏻
I’m still learning every day and loving it. Better videos to come for sure!
Thanks again Davey 🙏🏻
@@TynesideLife Yes Eddie most of the other vlogs are basically NUFC orientated and nothing else, loads of folk like to watch stuff like you are doing, a varied mixture, do you think you could do foodie reviews cafes, resteraunts etc, or, do you not want to rock the boat? 👍
@@daveyeddie8176 I’m still finding my way with my current niche but I think I’ve hit the right balance with combining history, local interest and NUFC.
I’m a people person and can bring something to the NUFC UA-cam world that nobody else can offer, especially approaching a pub full of away fans and disarming them.
Food and drink is not really my speciality but touching on those subjects in a peripheral way seems to be working.
My NUFC news is also carefully researched and I’m not one to jump on the emotional bandwagon like some.
@@TynesideLife Your definitely a people person like, one step at a time as you say, but folk love to know about all aspects of the toon.
@@daveyeddie8176 thanks for showing your support Davey 🙏🏻
4:23 where has the bus gone?
Ahh you ask a good question! The bus was taken to the Bill Quay Cafe earlier this year and then scum burnt it down 🤬
I mention it in the video I did at Bill Quay cafe and show a couple of pictures. Check it out 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife ah yes I watched the video I didnt realise it was the same bus!
You lived in the lakes and came back here?? I want to go the other way and not come back!!
Haha! Long story. I was there for about 13 years. Loved it. Climbing all over the mountains, camping, cycling
@@TynesideLife I camp every year at Pooley Bridge and tour about. I'm not a climber but I love the Buttermere circular route around the lake. The drive over Newlands Hause is pretty bloody scary though!!
@@dianegreen4803 haha! Have you tried Rhinos Pass?
@@TynesideLife lord no!! Newlands was enough. I've got a 2 pals that live just off the Struggle in Ambleside too.... Such fun going to see them 🤣🤣
I thought same thing
Do you still work at Hadrian School
You must be thinking of someone else I’m afraid 😳
...Dunno who the opposition Is like...
Isn't this pub ..haunted..
Watch the video and all is revealed…
@@TynesideLife its a good video..
@@colincharlton9339 cheers Colin 👍🏻
Only after a few pints
@@jean2740 true..seen a few spirit's in there..
