Nice to meet you too Suzanne. Thank you for sparing your time and thank you to you and everyone else involved in the great work that you do. Also love the cafe! 😊
This video is one of many of your videos which show that your not just a one trick pony who is only good for footy videos. Your knowledge of the area and its history is fantastic. Keep up the mint work Ed!
Once again Eddie, I loved your history lesson. My grandad Richard (born 1901) and grandma Madge (born 1904) had a shop in Dunston on Ravensworth Road (pulled down long ago) and raised their family in Dunston. As a child I remember the Staiths as a frightening huge toweting structure when I used to go to my Grandmas to be babysat. I was told in later years that it was my grandads job to boil Nd and preepare the meats and it was my grandma's job to gossip to the customers!
Been a year or so since I've had a mooch down to the Staiths & after having just watched your video I reckon I'll be back down there in a few days for another wander & a coffee & a bit of scran at the cafe. Great place & an often underrated & forgotten bit of NE history.
love the collies Eddie we had petra for 14 years what a girl she was belta still miss her after 45 years that's some miles you are clocking up spot on plugging the staiths cafe
If only we could instil a sense of pride in our youngsters for the great history and heritage the north east has to offer. Maybe then they wouldn’t want to destroy it. Another great vlog Eddy 👍
Sadly it's been the case since the beginning of time. There are always some kids who are destructive. I remember my uncle telling me how lots of kids got arrested by police in the 1960s for setting off charges that had fallen off passing trains on the rail line that used to go past the nearby CWS building (now demolished).
Another really interesting video..don’t live in the NE now,buts it’s always in your blood. Great friendly people,area and culture! Keep up the great work! NUFC 👍👍👍👍
I’ve driven past and looked over at the staiths so many times but never knew what they were. Probably being that I’m from the north side of the Tyne (Wallsend). Thanks for the informative video yet again Eddie 👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks for the video. I'd never seen the Staiths from the south so you give me inspiration to jump on my bike and go take a look. Bigger than I realised. Keep the videos coming :-)
Used to play down there when I was a kid, before all the houses were built it was part of the garden festival. Have explored as much as we could, especially further along the river at the flour mill/soap works whatever it was. A lot of good memories, Gateshead and Newcastle has come a long way, and is constantly evolving, new developments shooting up everywhere.
Great video as usual Love the passion for our place always interesting love the history vids of Newcastle And of course the footy Keep it gannin Eddy 👍
7 years and wow I did not know there was a cafe here, Ive had to of walked past at least 100 times. I will have to pop in on my next adventure around the Tyne.
Fabulous video. Always fancied getting over that side of the river to have a closer look. The cafe looks great. Definitely on my visit list for next time I'm back on home turf.
Your footage Eddie really highlights the magnificent structure of Dunston Staithes, thank you for sharing......I'm a little biased though.....born and bread in Dunston. The cafe really does do a fine coffee and cake 👌
@@TynesideLife Aye Eddie, it's been through a good few rough times over the decades but thankfully Dunston and its surrounding areas are with time, resources and appropriate developments make a difference for the better. Long may that continue for the whole of the North East Region. Every little helps. Keep up your excellent work Eddie 👌👍.....and I've just " realised" your good self and my dad, share the same Christian name!
@@TynesideLife Same but different indeed! Looking forward to your next instalments Eddy. I did enjoy your first review of NUFC and the "why's" around the public investment fund. The key word being investment and ultimately a need for a return on the investment......really considered and insightful 👌.
Cracking video Eddie. Gateshead lad here. We go along the Staiths a couple of times a month, usually on a Sunday for a stroll. The Staiths cafe is great. Love the channel mate. All the best, Mick
Great content Eddie, hope you're well. I can imagine how busy it would have been as there would have been dozens of Keels from Pit outlets up & down the river mingling among the large vessels. These Keel men were a hardy bunch living in tied cottages, paid in ale & by the load they would race up & down the river for a pittance. Shame that idiots have got at it, the staiths was an integral part of industrial life for the whole area. It was where the coal, iron, sweat & blood of surrounding towns & villages left to fuel & build Britain & it's Empire.
Spot of local heritage nice work, 👍 intrigued by the RN and RM signs, being ex Royal Navy, the recruitment office was at Gunner House opposite the Central Station whether it's moved not sure, From a mining family on my mother's side my father worked at Dunston Coke works I believe..,The term Coals to Newcastle comes to mind, cracking dogs.. 😀
That’s exactly the term David. I mention it in my Ouseburn Part II video when I visit the old Victorian wagon way tunnel. Newcastle was the very centre of Europe for coal transportation for 200 years. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Great video Eddy, it's a real shame that over the last 20yrs local idiots have tried to take away something that means so much to the local area hopefully the work the group are doing can get the staiths looking much better and future generations can appreciate it. Keep the content coming our way
As a Dunston school boy I had a Saturday Job as a Butcher's Boy for Mr Scott a few shops along from the Cross-keys pub, I used to deliver Meat to the collier ships Docked there and now and again to the Derwenthaugh Staithes
Fantastic, love this Eddie, so important not to forget our cultural heritage, thank you. The Sculpture Park sling that sane stretch of river is interesting abs hopefully will be improved as part of the Staiths restoration. Not such historical interest but great views of the river etc and a nice addition to the riverside walk.
My grandad used to have his boat/yacht moored just along from the Staithes next door to the yard that has changed names many times over the years. It was called the James Leathard and was 118 foot long. He found it as a floating Hull in the tyne and built it up to a high standard it had twin masts but it was also victim of arson and due to poor health he never was able to get it back to the same standard. I was there today. I miss my grandad he was a reet character led an amazing life!
@danielwardle7997 brilliant mate! His nickname was sandy due to the colour of his hair when he was younger but I can definitely understand why locally he was nicknamed pop eye due to his eye patch.
@cannyscott haha I actually cant remeber the eye patch mate I'm from dunston originally tho but as a kid I do remeber seeing g him occasionally n I always wondered what happened to him n how he came to live on that boat mate !!
Thanks for video never seen pictures of Elswick shipyard before my dad used to deliver meat for Albert Scott butchers on Ravensworth road out to the ships inside the staithes basin he used to row out to them in a little rowing boat when he was a young lad.
You know Eddie, I love all of your videos man. How you put them together and how you present yourself in front of the camera and people. I know it's an old video but I've been watching them all going back as I am pretty new to your channel 😅 anyways you're a top bloke and one day me and my family hope to bump into you and maybe grab a cuppa. Take care over the in America as I know you guys are off there ✌️♥️
Really enjoyed the video once again and definitely going to have a cycle up the Tyne to there! I also recommend to you a new group that has started up called ‘Walk nd Talk’ which is for people to benefit their mental health. It’s a weekly walk on Saturday mornings from South Shields sea front where you have done videos from in the past. It may be a good video idea to check out and raise awareness for mental health. Just a suggestion as I love your videos and want to see more.
Thumb is up on this one too :-) I had no idea what a staith was. A real piece of the Tyne's history of something that we should revere and be proud of, and not destroy. Do you or anyone know if the wooden platforms under the Swing Bridge and Highlevel Bridge near the Gateshead side are staiths too? Thanks for the video!!!
Cheers Ian. I don’t think so mate. Staiths had rails on them for trains or large wheeled containers. The other Staiths that I know if were at Ouseburn but they’re gone now
Another great video! I used to live near there and regularly used that footpath (and the cafe) so taking part in the annual fundraising fun runs for Save the Staiths was a no-brainer (the first I did in 2020 was virtual - just record your time, any route, last year we could finish at the Staiths). We should preserve our industrial heritage, shame on the vandals who want to wreck it 🤬.
grew up in dunston use to play on the staiths as a bairn along with fishing off it will be good to see it back to how i remember it in the late 80’s 90’s there is also a song about the keelmen
Hi Eddie love your videos,could you do a video on the kings meadows island that was in the middle of the Tyne between elwick and dunston,could be interesting….cheers
Hi Peter, I might mention it in a separate video I’m going to do about the River Tyne. I won’t do a separate video though as I don’t see it getting the views I’d hope for
Thought the staiths look familiar from the film Get Carter....Your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off....right actor wrong film 🤣...great content Eddy 👍🏾
Definitely mate, we put in orders for up to 20 hot sarnies and they are always ready and piping hot bang on time. Lovely people too just like your good self fella
Brilliant video eddy 👍👍 bit of a shame the mindless idiots have tryied to destroy it I'm definitely gonna pay that a visit .. and funny enough that last coal that left Newcastle was andy 😁
you may be thinking of the Derwenthaugh Staithes at Swallwell which was just a little further up river from the Dunston Power Station then the Delta rolling mills then the Staithes,
Eddy I can remember when I was a young kid and going to the festival that was there. I was there today also dropping my car off at a local garage. Coincidence or what eh lol (I know this was recorded in advance of today) 👍🏻
@Tyneside Life we used to penny for the guy outside cross keys excelsior club ,the anchor ,keel Hotel in early 70s made a fortune from the sailors watched some good punch ups 👍 I was born in bensham moved to Dunston when I was 4 yrs old it was all industry on both side of the river remember vickers Armstrong the tanks on their track had the loud mill about 15 scrap yards in Dunston how things change where the rocket was there was a pig farm
Not that I’m aware of Bill. The ‘Friends of the Staith’ group made no mention and there are only plans to rebuild it when they have sufficient donations.
That's near where I live dunston Staithes walk past staiths a lot yes yobs always there and try to burn it down I think it's disgusting because of the history behind this place
Urgh, all that proud history and some useless little wankers come along and try to destroy it for no reason. 😡 Anyway, love the channel, keep up the good work! 🙂👍
Thank you so much for featuring us and good to meet you today. What a great video and an excellent channel - thanks Eddie 👍🏻👌🏼😊 from #teamstaiths
Nice to meet you too Suzanne. Thank you for sparing your time and thank you to you and everyone else involved in the great work that you do. Also love the cafe! 😊
What a nice surprise this is! Staiths - spiritual home. Think you were referring to me with the all day wifi usage…
Looks like a great Cafe Suzanne, love the accent I'm yorkshire and always thought the geordie accent was cool like x
