6 to Midnight
A day in the life of Newcastle, this is a 17 min film Amber made in 1974. A lot has happened since - to Amber and Newcastle! If you'd like to help crowdfund the film we're making about Newcastle now, go to www.indiegogo.com/mudstar
6 to Midnight was made for Newcastle City Council, who rejected it. 'It might be all right for the Straw Dogs generation,' was one of the councillors' comments - probably the only time an Amber film has been compared to Sam Peckinpah! They're relaxed about it these days - and quite supportive of Amber - but apparently they weren't keen, at the time, on the shots of meat being unloaded on the pavement outside the Grainger Market - and possibly on the number of For Sale/To Let signs on Grey Street.

What is the purpose of the wheel the man is turning at the start ?
Goosebumps for the past❤
I wish the camera would be taken further down the Cloth Market, to show how White Hart Yard is today. My first job from leaving school was in the Yard: C Hall, a wholesale supplier of household items- I remember the Addis sponge floor mop would properly wring out water, unlike the same mops do today! I have to use my hand to squeeze out the water! There was an optical lens manufacturing next door, also Russell, that had an auction sale every Friday if I remember. I think back to those days with great fondness - anyone like me wishes they could find a secret door to the past?
Thank you for uploading this
Well worth the watch
Im old enough (just!), to remember some of this! Great blast from the past, Thanks for posting this :)
Awesome film ...shows how we were betrayed by zog . . . . . !!!!
Tragic.
@@DavidRenwick-t1e its a crying shame ...People dont realise this is just the start of 'multi culturalisation' ...by the time they realise the threat ...it will be too late ...!!
That's when I loved the city
i know what you mean mate ..its hard to love a foreign-controlled cess pit isnt it ? ! . . . . .
11:50 im sure that's Mrs Robson coming out of Marks & Spencers with the purple looking bag with white polka dots & other bags she has in front of her. Stephen & Elaine Robson's mam when they lived in Felling on Abbotsford Road right next to the footbridge crossing the by pass....
At least the trains ran in them days
I love the history of the Railways and this is a fantastic railway.
I worked in the fruit market for 9 years bulman and leatherland and Holford bradnums had sum good time miss all the lads
7:26 6 and a quarter percent interest on your savings at Barclays
.....another underwhelming, depressing ultimately pointless British film.
I thought the Bowes Railway closed the year before filming.
Fantastic! Newcastle looked so much better then, not a charva in sight.👍👍👍
You must remember many of the people in this video would have been close relatives of these charvas. Society just went mad and things changed, not for the better.
not an foreign immigrant around either . .and so much better for that definitely !!!
skinheads 70s , 60s teddy boys .every era had its version of chavs
Seen nowt but the old titan crane barge
the algorithm is finding my old VHS memories
2.23 is some comb over...
I have seen a lot of old footage here of Newcastle over the years but this film has to be one of the best. Cheers for uploading.👍🇬🇧
Lemington glassworks. I served as an apprentice in a Manx glassworks and 2 of the master glassmakers were previously from Lemington works.
destruction at its best, the gud old days
1:18 the old YMCA under demolition for Eldon Square - Sidgate mall
Actually I think that is Cross House on Westgate Road. The YMCA building was demolished in 1972.
Seen my ex & others on here brought back memory's galore! Is there any footage of "W. Robinsons Book Shop" I worked there for a few years !
Why does it fell like this film is from a thousand years ago?
Geoffrey Stansfield Of 2 Rosebery Crescent Who is a Civil and Structural Engineer and who came up to Geordie LANd TO CLEAN UP THE RIVER TYNE NOW MOVING AT 75 years old to Craster Remember CradleWell By pas anyone? Put GEOFFREY STANSFIELD INTO GOOGLE AND SEARCH FOR AUDIT COMMISSION MEANWHILE THIS IS A TERRIFIC FILM OF BEACHES AMBER FILMS LTD MUST BE CONGRATULATED
Like Sunderland me self.. better night life.. I think people of Newcastle got a horrible sense of humour...
irs mainly pakistanis now anyway .....
Brilliant ! Fantastic shots of old vehicles and ' interesting ' hairstyles . Newcastle is a nice compact City, lots to see and do and you don't have to walk miles to get around it. Spent my teenage years in the Handyside Arcade with all the other Hippies.......The Kard Bar....Fynd.....Ultima Thule.....fantastic times. Drinking in The Man on the Moon, The Old George and the brilliant Juke Box in The Haymarket.....in the words of the Likely Lads song, Tomorrow's almost over , Today went by so fast, the only thing to look forward to, is the past !
Health and Safety would have a fit these days !
jenny talia why? Provided there is a safe operating system and everyone does what they've been trained to within that system the H&S laws will have been fully met.
Stunning
well-done Emma u did great really good story line and all very true u want to be proud of youre self Emma and am proud to say part of my family :) x
have you got the full movie of Eden Valley if so can you put it on your youtube
fantastic! Thanks for posting this
Ah the days when no one was up and on the roads at 6am lol
Old Newcastle films don't come better than this
A wonderfully sentimental stroll down Memory Lane for me there. I was in the fruit game myself for many years at the featured Gateshead Market so it was great to see the hustle and bustle again. On 15 odd minutes there is a Mole Construction truck ,Mr Mole used to come in my fruit shop most weeks or he I would take the produce to his home. (He was a wonderful man) I think the chap with the sideburns on the fruit market is called Colin and he is still portering there to this day.
You just missed a screenng at Tyneside Cinema. Sorry. It's not available online in its entirety, but you can buy the DVD from the shop on our amber-online website. It's £15 plus p&p. We're redeveloping our website over the next year and will be featuring a free 'film of the month' - it will be one of the works we show.
This is great. I like the lack of a narrator, makes it so much more atmospheric...kind of a "Koyaani-Scotswood" <*¬) X
Think that's Billy Finlay from Newcastle Labour club at 2:29. He was on the barrows for years.
I would have been 9 when this was made and still attending West Jesmond infants school. So much has changed but it's surprising what is the same.
Was pedestrianized in August 1974 for mains diversions to enable the construction of Monument Metro which opened in 1981/2
There were three Watergate hearings: April 1973, August 1973 and April 1974. The Guinness ad behind the Venture bus (still in original livery) at 5:45 hints at the middle date of the three
Thats a bit arty farty that Amber. You wouldnt last 2 minutes in the place. I worked in the yards. FTM.
Correction- Just noticed this was made in 1974, Sorry for being dim ! ;)
Fantastic, So atmospheric, Thank you. I was born in Gateshead 1967, so you have given me a peek at my home town before I existed. [;0)
so much has changed but the heart of the city remains
..not really ...the MP is nigerian for a start . . . ..85 percent of residents of newcastle are of foreign -extraction ..-the place is horrific for natives . . . hardly a success story , but nigh on criminal !!!
Newcastle on 17th August 1973
At 13.26 I got a shock seeing my late Mother!
