I was thinking about how it looks more like Victorian times than now - but when you think about it, it was actually closer to Victorian times than now.
The bairns where not pampered either, i noticed a few bairns scratching there heads ,it was very common for everyone to have head lice . As every one was poor😢
Wow my home where I lived as a child getting built armstrong road and the place I seen a tragedy the corner of cranbrook road god bless you little Janet I still thingk of you 50 or so years later 💔
Hello I'm carolines sister poor little Janet slipped off the kirb and was ripped into between the huge back wheels of the wagon taking soil bricks and rubble along to denton dene when woodland crescent and forest Road was been renovated, but as was the done thing in those days the wagon drivers would allow the kids to climb on the back ontop of the rubble and ride along to the dene where it was dumped then bring the kids back, it all all went horribly sadly wrong that afternoon, poor little girl it was horrendous to see and devastated the whole community,
Great footage, and not a car in sight on the streets 😁 Even better, at 4:31, you could leave your bicycle propped up along the kerb and naebody would pinch, ride off on it ‼️
at 2:08 the church shown is Snow Street Methodist New Connexion chapel which closed in 1939; Deleval City Mission closed in the 1950s. Great film, thanks for sharing
Im researching my hagan family from consett at the time of 1911 census would love to find out on what became of them if any1 could help?great video nice to see.
Hello Geoff. Thanks for posting these 2 films. The segment with the kids playing football in the street would have been perfect for the video of this song by The Exiles (I am the lyricist). My dad appears for a few seconds. He was born in Newcastle in 1925 and grew up in Walker/Byker area. Until My Dyin' Day
Wow, my mom lived on Westfield Road, just off Delaval. According to Google maps what was Westfield Road is named Oelaval now for some reason. When I visited Newcastle in the summer of 2012, my cousin drove me down there, I was finally standing on Westfield Road where my mom's childhood home once stood. All the houses had been torn down and it was just an empty field with only a few houses on surrounding roads. Now Google maps shows new houses being built in nearby areas that were empty fields back in 2012. Seeing this video, I wonder if one of the terraced houses might have been my mom's old home.
Which house were you? We may know you :) My family lived at 42 Westfield Road, for many years and knew most families in the street. We think that’s maybe my Gran seen walking out of the archway in the video! That was certainly her house.
And it's around today in 2024 . Because our country has been given away to foreigners. They are given all our money and homes. And we are once again living in poverty 😢
@@jean2740 you go to the poll station. You elect representants that they don't do your interest. Foreigners like me we come and work if there's an opportunity to do it. If we come to work thousands of miles away from our family there's a reason why. Take it out on the leaders that you elect. Not me. J apply to the job online like everyone else. I was happy when Brexit happened. I taught that finally they would invest in the made in UK. Boost up local economy. But was a trick to get the yanks to take over this country. Angelo
Trying to find out about my great grandfather Patrick hagan b 1886 consett Durham very hard finding out what became of him?good watching videos of his part the world dosent seem to be any1 from their doing the tree online.

Thanks for sharing! Love Newcastle
Now this the kind of film I'm really into yes the true past when everyone was dirt poor , bit it's 2022 and dirt poor again.
The bairns where not pampered either, i noticed a few bairns scratching there heads ,it was very common for everyone to have head lice .

These were the days when my mother was a little girl born and bred in Newcastle.

The houses under Byker bridge are where my Granda was born just after The Great War.

They demolished the old slums and replaced them with modern slums.
The shipyards and industry long gone leaving mass unemployment.
Thank you very much !
Once again I will do as I did with part one, and once again many thanks for sharing.
Another gem about Newcastle and surrounding area, would love to find one with Wallsend featured.
My god Brinkburn still me mother was from there
My Nan was also , it brings me so much joy watching these videos as my mind runs away with me thinking did my nan play there or walk those streets 😊

Lovely film, thank you for sharing it. I hope you can disregard the stupid comment about camera film quality( from a watcher three months ago! )

Great seeing kids playing out getting their knees dirty. Long before Playstations and iPads.

All I see is really nice and real people. And poverty
And it's around today in 2024 .
Because our country has been given away to foreigners.
