My father used to manage the forge and hammer pub i remember some off the customers in the video like it was yesterday had some great times around there
My gran lived in the Willows - so many happy memories of the area, but that's nostalgia. Quite emotional to see them being demolished now - but they were awful places to live.
Awww bless ❤ my great granny owned a sweet shop on byker bank .all geordies are lovely friendly people .they had no money but they all dressed very smart not like today .
And now weve gone full circle, the poplars and surrounding blocks are getting ripped down. Altho they have revamped the sycamores and surrounding blocks last year. Made a nice job too btw for anyone that hasnt seen them inside.
What happened in Newcastle happened in Glasgow but on a bigger scale blocks of flats knowing as deserts with eyes the idea came from Sweden with high rises totally destroyed the communitys

My grandad was the caretaker of the willows from when they were built until the mid 1970s

The noble Street flats never forgot them
who was the vicar ???
The Bastards who designed them wouldn't live in them flats.
Well said, they had an agenda and it was not the welfare of ordinary folk; drunk on stupid ill-considered schemes and vindictive destruction.
Byker was very similer
The Planners ripped the hearts out of community
the old was not great but the new was far worse
Ruined old byker ❤
They weren’t fit for humans those flats, they’d have done better to improve the old houses where people were happy. Unfeeling councils.
It seems the Planners and Council must have hated the local folk a great deal to thrust this upon them.
@@richardkell4888of course,they STILL do!!
U don't see begging addicts on them streets like nowadays how things have changed for the worsed
