Fantastic video - the effort involved is very much appreciated! As a homesick Geordie now living in London, it’s great to keep up with what’s happening to our beautiful city (and also love the vids on our glorious football club!)
Another great video Eddie, you're getting good at this! Seriously though, I'm also super excited to see how it looks in a few years. This street has been horribly run down for as long as I've been alive. I do still have memories of waiting for the bus at the old bus station after a take away from over the road. It was a shit hole then but it's only got worse, great to see it get the love it deserves finally.
Thanks for the update,Eddie. Another great clip. I'm glad the Tyne bridge is getting a tart up as it was starting to look like me.... old and knackered!
Nice video! You do a really good job sharing things going in Newcastle! I’m a geordie myself living overseas in South Korea, so it’s good to see what’s going on back home! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for this update ! I have been looking forward to seeing the bridge getting refurbished 🥳. Me and my colleagues from International Paints nearby have been asking for paints to be given as charity to help with the project for years, but I do not know if this actually happened. Very excited to see the new development nearby materialise, the area has been an eyesore for a while now and change was needed... Although not sure what to make of this new tall building 🤷All the best to you.
Great content, love these educational videos that come out now and again along with the main football vlogs. Me and a mate are planning on coming up from Reading to see the 2 home friendlies at the end of July, hoping I might spot you outside the stadium while you're recording 🤞
When you said "Thumbs up" on the web, TH-cam highlights the thumbs up button with some cool colours on the computer awesome, anyways thanks Eddie great video can't wait to see it all finished.
Totally agree with you. It’s been a run down area for years and desperately needed this. The shops, bars etc as you said are gonna greatly benefit from this.
@@TynesideLife do you remember la stella or la stalla pizza place at the back of pilgrim street and the fire station. I would love to find to pictures if that.
@@TynesideLife no thank you really. I enjoy your videos and appreciate the time and effort you put in. I'm a South African living in Newcastle and I feel very proud to live here and be part of everything. The Geordies are fantastic too😁
Interesting video Eddie, knew about Pilgrims Quarter but didn't know about the rest of it. Always thought Worswick Chambers has a nice looking facade (the doorway etc..). so nice to see that's getting renovated as well.
Remember queuing at the Odeon in Pilgrim St 1977 waiting to get in to see Star Wars for the first of many times I dragged my Mam down there to see it... Good to see the area getting a revamp. Been good travelling back down for the home games too since the takeover. Happy days and good times ahead for the Toon..
Its great to see this been redeveloped. I can remember getting off the Bus there (no metros them days) and making your way through the streets to St James. I did some chef training in the old fire station that was a experience and a half. Then, opposite the police station who can remember the shop where you exchange your coupons from ciggie packets (Ke4nsitas, if I remember correctly) and green shields stamps. There was also a wall as you head down to the bridge which was called the FLICKR wall, where members of FLICKR wrote messages and down photos to place on FLICKR.
Wow, what an insight Eddy, memories for me as a kid from Benwell... queing ootside the Odeon for Star Wars and Superman with me Mammy, seeing the inside of Pilgrim Street Police station as a young 10 year ald truant-a reformed man noo like🤣👊great video mate
Great info Eddy . was up there yesturday and was wondering what was going to be built. I knew the HMRC was moving in but didnt know about the firestation etc.
So exciting to see what is sadly a tired area.......hope springs eternal, its going to be a fantastic place! Still miss the 70' s Odeon cinema. My uncle Frank used to work out of at the Pearl Assurance offices. He was there for 30 years. That wonderful Tyne Bridge of ours definitely needs a lick of paint mind Eddy, thank god its getting a makeover ! Cheers 🍻 Graham 👍
RIP The Stack Eddie. Loved it in there. Every time we came up and went in there we always ended up chatting to someone. Cliche I know but Geordie's really do make you feel welcome in their town. All being well coming back up in August 🤞
Thanks Eddy, you kept your promise to bring us up to date . It was the facade of Carliol House that I was interested in , it was just the big showroom on the corner & 60's modernised offices behind ..love the best bit's being kept xxx
Exciting times indeed Eddie just hope there aren't to many high-rise buildings as I personally think they have ruined the area around St James park are to many high-rise buildings ,great video again can't get enough of watching them well done again Eddie keep up the good work kidda
@@TynesideLife oh i will buddy. And if your ever over in belfast i. Live beside titanic quarter. Gimme a shout and ill take ya for a Guinness and a tour 😎

Great boost for City center. All for it. Another big scheme will be the Whey Eye Wheel complex. Do you have any info when work will commence on this, if at all.
Long overdue redevelopment of a valuable area of the city that has been overlooked for too long. I just hope the reality looks as good as the plans! Now if only I could find someone to liberate the Buz nightclub sign before it goes to scrap… it would look great on the front of my garage! Many happy memories in there!
Love your videos Eddie, Tyne bridge is desperate for a refurb, lets the city down, wish they would pedestrianize grey street, would be interested in a video on the Robert sinclair building.
Great video. As an HMRC worker at Longbenton i am not particularly looking forward to moving there. Public transport and parking are quite easy where we are and moving there will not make things easier. Like a lot of my colleagues o f my age we hope to be retired before the move.
Spent five years in Newcastle as a student. Pilgrim Street was a run down area but it’ll look great once those old run down buildings are replaced. Good to see how it’s changing for the better.
Wow Eddie,....this is a fabulous view into the future,...thank you. Just for a wee bit of ecological balance, these developments come with a consequence, which is the continued migration into cities at the cost of the countryside. Investment in those places where our nourishment comes from is diminishing at a devastating rate. Food is already depleted of the nutrition we once had in part due to the lack of people to maintain the land. So,.....I luv the video, but there is a much deeper issue behind the development of city ecology at the expense of rural ecology. What I would love to see is investment in rural areas like Amble for example, and other rural towns/villages, encouraging people to populate our magnificent Northumbrian countryside. PennyXxx
I could talk about this stuff for hours Penny. I’ve studied climate change, I’m passionate about being in the hills and I lived in the Lakes for 13 years. Sometimes I just have to separate everything and talk about one thing at a time 😅
@@TynesideLife ,...please recognise Eddie that I am applauding you loudly from my kitchen in Edinburgh!!! And yes, I know you love the countryside. But that brings up an idea, Ping!!! How about going into the glorious Northumbrian villages and tell us what is happening there with climate, farming and the movement of people in and out? That would be incredibly helpful,...to me anyway,.........hehehe!!! PennyXxx
Your videos are always so great. I wish the rent wasn't so extortionate in Newcastle because us small businesses are struggling massively as it is, I own a bakery and we have a tiny shop in a residential area in Monkseaton with pretty much no footfall because it's all we can afford. Our dream is to have a shop in the centre but it's just not doable!
@@TynesideLife you are so kind. We are called R Place on St Ronan's Road. It's an uphill battle and it feels like you're swimming upstream constantly! Xxx
Those were the days Eddie, bus to worsick st and then to Tiffany's back in 1983-4,i remember my 1st Liverpool away strip bought in 1978 from Stan Seymour across the road from the Fire Station. 👍
@@gordypattison3543 That's who I support but I live in Gateshead and enjoy Eddie's videos on historical places in the north east, I used to buy punk singles in the late 70s and I met the guy outside of the fire station to meet up.
@@gordy3714 not many glory hunters in the toon lm always proud to say. Lived 15 yrs in Norwich where there were more Liverpool fans than City. Unbelievable. Here in Thailannd for 18yrs its Liverpool and Man utd. However the toon shirts are now cropping up. I dont want glory hunters following us but its gonna happen and frankly who cares ?
Wow the tragic traffic will be off scale ,when that bridge is shut all that time ,good job they had the foresight to build second Tyne tunnel ,end of the day the A1 needs to be a motorway from Gateshead to way past city centre ,I know roadworks have been going on ages along A1 not sure how it ends ,let's hope for the first time in years youl be able to go up there without stopping for a change ,it's only 20 yrs too late .
A work for hmrc and my office is moving from. Peterlee to Newcastle so looking to move into Newcastle myself from Durham at some point just need to find out a nice area to move to. Any ideas?
Once again a good video, however the way you have asked your question in the title, makes it sound as if the Reuben brothers are doing something negative.
It's going to be so exciting but for me I think they should've done things differently, I would love to have seen that area of Newcastle become similar to Spinningfields in Manchester with open grass spaces, outdoor dining tables and maybe a few residential towers. It's a real shame the whole of Pilgrim Street can't be demolished and built up again like other cities are doing. Then we could have say our own BoxPark like London. Also not sure if they are or not, but I think it's crazy to not build say a 2-3 story car park underneath the HMRC site, traffic is going to be crazy.
The area being developed in Newcastle will look similar to the Spinningfield development in Manchester. This too has public realms amongst modern buildings. I went there a few weeks ago. They’re building in newcastle a 150 space car park with the idea of investing heavily in public transport infrastructure, rather than having more vehicles in the city centre. All towns and cities are moving away from this idea.
To be honest, I wouldn’t be comfortable using one around the city centre and for more coastal snd rural shots when I have my dogs, one of them becomes highly agitated and distressed at the sound. I bought the DJI Mini2 a few months ago and was forced to return it 😩
I wonder what Newcastlers think of these developments? Do they want there city as a tourist destination or as a working city? I’m not from the UK feel free to enlighten me.
Different people will have different views but mainly, people see tourism as a massive source of revenue for the local economy since the death of industry on the Tyne. Work evolves and Newcastle is no different but in my opinion, the evolution of the city is making it even more special 👍🏻
Hi Eddie, take a stroll along Northumberland St. It looks a disgrace, paving stones replaced with black tarmac, street like a patchwork quilt, fix this before spending millions on huge streetlights which have been planned.
Great video Eddie, I’m all for change and yes the city needs it and has to move forward but what you don’t want is a Manchester or a Birmingham that are all high rise and glass with no character Newcastle has retained its buildings ( low level) from the day and it’s history very rare today but as I said at the start times have to move on 👍
@@firestarter1888 from the article it raises eyebrows but there’s nothing illegal about it but if the HMRC infrastructure is costing less through tax cuts then it benefits us anyway
Great video. The criminal damage is mainly 1 bloke justin moore aka "otras" hes been spraying for over 20years and is still active. Hes 36ffs. Hes been in the chronicle more than shearer. Not sure why the police dont just keep hitting him with huge fines as hes made a right mess of the whole of Newcastle

@@firestarter1888 just read it. Sounds like a good deal for us tax payers who pay for government departments 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife Possibly, i can't remember the exact details, seemed a little bit sketchy to me though.
@@firestarter1888 from the article it raises eyebrows but there’s nothing illegal about it but if the HMRC infrastructure is costing less through tax cuts then it benefits us anyway

Great video. The criminal damage is mainly 1 bloke justin moore aka "otras" hes been spraying for over 20years and is still active. Hes 36ffs. Hes been in the chronicle more than shearer. Not sure why the police dont just keep hitting him with huge fines as hes made a right mess of the whole of Newcastle
