Grew up here in the 80s , so many fond memories, My old school rutherford and I can see the music block and covered way. I used to deliver newspapers along lonnen way. Great times with lots of good people in the area who I miss seeing.
Happy happy times back then in Fenham. we were living there from the late 60's and it was a lovely place to live. Mam and dad are gone now and while I still pass through there almost every day it's good to step back in time and remember Fenham in its glory days. Thank u :)
I l loved there all my life until I got married in 1983 .I'm finding it v hard to get my bearings here .I recognised Lonnen Ave ,was that the back of the old Rutherford School ?
I was born in Fenham chase , the cul-de-sac in the background in the removal truck scene . Think a famous BBC reporter/ presenter lived in those huge houses opposite the girls school , sure his first name was Howard. I also remember a National filling station bolbec rd / Fenham hall drive set back from road. Got my bike knicked from the shops near st James n st Basil's .also. Those were the days it was like darras hall compared with today .
Thank you for posting this video. I attended Dame Allan’s Boys School from 1967 to 1974 even though I lived quite far away. In order to concentrate on revision for my exams, I used to stay at my grandmother’s home at 75 Lonnen Avenue.
I went to the Sacred Heart primary school and have great memories of Sister (later Mother) Hewitt teaching us arithmetic (or "sum fun" as she amusingly called it!).
Moorside north & wingrove north is where I learned to make my first Penny's "washing the good peoples cars" on a Saturday & Sunday, thanks for the uploads you brought some very fond childhood memories back 👍
It’s because we didn’t have open borders, there was such a thing as common sense, and people weren’t called racist or bigot for having a common sense opinion. People were a lot more intelligent than they are now, people had clear goals, family life, and enjoyment of life wasn’t unaffordable.
Forza223 Bowe well we’re the ones that sat back and did nothing about it. We need to deal with the problem now though or we are trully screwed. I fact we are already screwed but we have a duty for our children.
If England could only return back to these great times... People was taught respect in schools, you knew your neighbour, true english values were practised.. Happier times... 💙
There was still bad people about, I used to watch the Tavern play football every week home & away there was many times I seen matches getting abandoned including a cup final. 😂😂😂
You a Russian troll? You clearly know nothing about that era. Mass unemployment, crime spiralling (much higher than it is now). Violence everywhere. Utterly miserable in many ways.
My dad's old house is on this video. Number 100, Hadrian Road. He moved out in the early 2000s after over a decade of abuse by the shitbags living next door. Still lovely to see on this video though. I forgot all about the big tree in the garden.
So familiar. Our family lived on Grange Road and still do. One thing I noticed here were the stray dogs! Something you never ever see nowadays unless one has accidentally escaped!
I think they are probably not stray dogs & did have owners, I can remember people just letting their dog out so it could take itself for a walk. Less traffic & less likely-hood of someone steeling the dog. Our family never did that though.
Beautifully nostalgic, all of this. Particularly since I have now been living in Germany for over 40 years! I was born in Denton Burn, but we then lived in Tillmouth Gardens, the next street along from Grange Road, as you will be well aware!
Wow, look at the kids being kids, look at the roads before health and safety happend no speed camera s no speed humps...everyone home early to sit down together at a table...and turn the TV on when the BBC use to tell the news
Yes. Very cosy. The street-scape, the houses before they had their eyes, sorry, windows gouged out making them all look the same. Leyland Atlantean buses with pre-select gearboxes, Ford Escorts, Datsun 120Ys, Bedford TKs, Hillman Hunters, motorcycles with individuality, proper payphones adorning the streets. London looked like this too. Now everywhere is carved up or gentrified. So no atmosphere, nothing unique or individual. Some call it the return of communism. Others, "western universalism." I hate the millennium - everything about it. I want to go back to 1975-1995 and stay there.
I was interested in the two very young mothers. We had our children young then. Today, maybe those two girls would be at university instead. I got my degrees in my 40s.
There’s about three cars on the whole street! Some lads there look like they’re from Dame Allan’s, my brother and I went there. Plus at 6:07 I think I can remember going cross country running the same way!
You would get arrested for filming around schools now would get you for filming kids !!!I knew A.OGILVE - (chip shop) a lovely old bloke - sadly dead now - the shop is now a Chinese take away !!
I had to have s wuick comment on the 32 bus. If we couldnt catch a 13 along Cefar Rd wed ude the32 .Mam used to ask for Deanham Gdns ,which i think was on the right , bus driver dint have a clue whT she was on about 😂 Going to watch rhe rest of the video now
Great videos...and looks like you lived at no. 39 Newminster Road, which was my house from 2014 - 2020! I lived with my mam and dad on Nuns Moor Road at the time this was filmed but had a few great years in no. 39 with my family and 2 kids a couple of decades later!
Aye , I used to live just down the road in blakelaw in the 70s , and we all had dirty faces , scuffed knees and no arse in our pants hungry and happy , I guess that farrage worked his magic on the place I once called home chappers .

I lived just off Fenham Hall Drive for 34 years so appreciated this video. Everything seems so much quieter then.
Happy happy times back then in Fenham. we were living there from the late 60's and it was a lovely place to live. Mam and dad are gone now and while I still pass through there almost every day it's good to step back in time and remember Fenham in its glory days. Thank u :)

So many memories and good times of that area. Look at how few cars there are. Miss those days for sure. Happy happy times
Arnold Oglvie the chip shop . The two elderly sisters who sold all the old fashioned sweets next door to the library. Gone but not forgotten 😪

loved it thanks, my old school Sacred Heart and all memories of area.
I went to the Sacred Heart primary school and have great memories of Sister (later Mother) Hewitt teaching us arithmetic (or "sum fun" as she amusingly called it!).
This is absolutely amazing. I have spent my entire lunch hour mesmerised. Thank you so much
Love these vids to bits❤
Moorside north & wingrove north is where I learned to make my first Penny's "washing the good peoples cars" on a Saturday & Sunday, thanks for the uploads you brought some very fond childhood memories back 👍
This is when i moved, still great place xx
Everyone seemed so much happier back then
I wonder why?
Forza223 Bowe no blacks
It’s because we didn’t have open borders, there was such a thing as common sense, and people weren’t called racist or bigot for having a common sense opinion. People were a lot more intelligent than they are now, people had clear goals, family life, and enjoyment of life wasn’t unaffordable.

Lee ludlow Art We are screwed, but we can stop any more and that is a help. I really hope we can get Brexit sorted, and focus on strict immigration
Unbelievable how so much things have changed WOW
I lived one semester at fenham, newcastle at 2011.
Lovely!
Vermutlich als deutscher Student!
Our house is shown here at around 16mins. 41 Newminster Rd.
Just opposite the bungalow with the Star on the front...
a tip : watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Alex Ernest Yea, been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D
One thing to nice is you have main roads that aren’t completely blocked up.
Aye thers a passing car every 5 seconds now. So much has changed

@@ericmarkcharlton8190 can you remember Hector the Great Dane ?
The end reminded me of how dogs would just roam freely, sometimes packing up in numbers running wild. Only in. the 80's...🔁

Yes, used to live in that area. Completely different now, lots of dark faces.
Its still a nice part to live in. Clean and good schools nearby.
Aye , I used to live just down the road in blakelaw in the 70s , and we all had dirty faces , scuffed knees and no arse in our pants hungry and happy , I guess that farrage worked his magic on the place I once called home chappers .
Is bavington drive on here?
Sorry I don't know, my father filmed this.
No Bavington Drive on here
Cracking video however unfortunately Fenham has changed for the worse.
