JawD 99 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Looked it up and yes it is the place. Easy to access too Stevie if you're interested. I haven't been up there for fucking years. Clicky here for how to get there. Loads of good walks around there like. Also get a few ralley's going on as well. We usually walk over simonside and/or thrunton if around Rothbury or head through and up to the Cheviots (Windy Gyle) as we've done more recently.

Tooj 17 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Found these on my phone that I took a couple of months ago. Shame about the light issues on the one with the sandcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Think someone posted them when they went up. Wonder where number 9 is from, should be identifiable with a church behind a rugby club. Thought it might be Percy park RFC with Christ Church behind, but think the proximity of them is too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is I just bought a house behind that church.....they'd have to be playing right on the seafront though, perhaps where that park is now. EDIT: Talking shite, the bell tower is on the sea side, so it could be Tynemouth Park they're playing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42461 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Could # 9 be RGS playing fields, the church being the one at the top of Osborne Rd. ( St. George's I think)? #s 5-7 are of Paddys Market , where the current Quayside market is. My mother used to say our bedrooms were " like Paddy's market" when we were kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42461 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I was sent a link to an online collection of over 1000 pics of Newcastle taken from 1940-1970s by one bloke, Laszlo Torday, a Hungarian chemical engineer who moved here in 1940 There's alot to wade through, but there are some fascinating pictures.

PaddockLad 17285 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I just stumbled upon this guy's photos, there are a lot, may stimulate some memories for lercals and exiles alike. http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft.dll/h...4E097D0D715519A etc etc, hundreds of 'em. 100 toontastic points to whoever names the 4 in the bath?

Howmanheyman 33267 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I saw this pic the other day and somehow it would've been completely erased from my memory had I not seen it these years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42461 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 What the fuck were they for? I remember seeing them about, but never figured out their purpose. Were they cabins for replacement drivers to sit in and build up their stroppiness? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33267 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 There was once a particularly stroppy bus driver round ours and years later I discovered wor lasses father* had been regularly 'climbing aboard' said stroppy driver's wife. *He was divorced from the Mother in law by that time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
