Old Images of Dunston, Gateshead

Glimpse history through old pictures, postcards and photos of Dunston, Gateshead in North East England.
Its location next to the River Tyne meant lots of work at the Staithes, Dunston Power Station, and other industrial sites.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your kind comment :)

I wonder if many of today's young people have any idea about Dunston's past and so many of the buildings that used to stand but no longer exist

[@localhistoryvideos]

Probably not...but many of them will care when they get older. Let's hope we can hold on to some of the historic survivors in the meantime!

"My lovely Dad"....what a nice tribute to him

[@localhistoryvideos]

It's really a good and underappreciated location for access to the city centre, Metrocentre, and Saltwell Park. The Activity Centre, Library and Pool are all great facilities too - fingers crossed they stay open!
