I agree 100% Tony. This council we have is all for themselves. If a councillor doesn't travel through a part of the town to go to the town hall, it gets forgotten about. I've lived here since I was born, and I'm ashamed to say the town itself is a tip (not the coast as that's where the money is spent and outsiders visit) :(
That was the one street I couldn't remember the name of when watching the video. I left Shields in 2014 and in my mind it still looks like the video :-)
It’s sadly has. There’s so many buildings that have been abandoned and destroyed wish we could go back to the early 90s when it was a pretty nice place
Wow I used to live in chichester, inparticular eglesfield road, just around the corner from the chi arms and chi metro. I have also got dronk in the westoe, the county, and, had a girlfriend who was a barmaid in the white ensign, which is now an indian restaurant. Happy days.
@@zuluwarrior1648 That's correct. I'm from Blackpool. I went to college in South Shields. In the second year I rented a house in Eglesfield Rd with some of my class mates.
I remember it being a lively town and good craic in the many bars. It’s poverty stricken now with nothing more than £ shops and charity shops in king street. Holiday makers must be disappointed and I’m surprised there’s a B and B left as there’s no shipyards (for contractors) and nothing to do other than a miniature fairground for kids.
back in the 60's we lived in the street first left as you turn from Beach Rd into Anderson, it was called Chandeler(?) Terrace back then I think ,theres a carpark in there now, all the row homes have been demolished, which isnt a bad thing , they were terrible back then.Memories of the Town Hall clock chiming :)
Hotrodngaz . would of been cool if someone had of captured Tyne dock arches towards simonside . Or that toilet at westoe bridges, they have changed so much over the years aye ..a think that store at lagate was turned into Lidle`s , cool video m8
Thanks, yeah shame really. Video camera's were still a rich man's toy even by the early 80's so that'll be one of the reasons we don't have any old footage :(
get ya self down shields now , you will be shocked its gotten worse the Criterion shutdown and is now a betting shop n just last week roxannes or Rupert's if your older also shutdown

Only the transport has changed a little. Wish whoever drove through Frederick Street had given us a complete tour though, it's not there anymore. 😢

I know Liz hi chuck am just passing through hope you are ok 🤣😂🤣😂😅 nice to bump into on u tube.
You brought up the nice memory to me, I studied in South Shields between 90 -92 at South Tyneside College : ) thanks allot
The month and year I came to Shields as a marine student, I never left!!!!
23 years later and everything looks pretty much the same..
Yea apart from Laygate lol
Very nostalgic coming across this!
The Town Hall and the Old Town Hall at the Market Place together with The Kirkpatrick Bar (The old Marine School) are all amazing buildings.
Then you'll love this video I made...

Miss these good old days but South Shields has totally changed it’s more like a ghost town now.
It’s sadly has. There’s so many buildings that have been abandoned and destroyed wish we could go back to the early 90s when it was a pretty nice place
Wow it's like a time machine, things did seem simpler back then
Looks better back then
Look at how easy the journey was then,it would take twice the time now due to the stupid bastard traffic lights all over the place.
I couldn't remember a roundabout at the town hall
SCS has been there forever 🤣
Got adopted in 89 never seen the place since 👋🏻
Great video thanks for sharing ...
I used to be clubbing 5 nights a week in victors and oz ...what a golden era as a 50 year old now the town is dead
It's 1998 look at 0:36 a Vauxhall Astra MK.4 which had only just came out in mid 1998
Memories
That's cool that's south shields used to look like that
good to do the same drive this September. Maybe clean the windscreen first :)

I wonder how the town copes after a year of covid restrictions :-(
Not even that much different tbh
This is crazy
Jade was only 4 back then

Do you know what day/time this video was taken? Not a lot of cars on the road. Looks early on a sunday morning to be honest
AFTERDARK! oh god lol

Fucking hell it’s changed a lot

That's the date on my video, and I took the video. Can't understand how it can be wrong?
The astra at 0:36 wasn't launched until 1998 so it's definitely not in 96
