GinN - I was born in Gateshead and lived there from 1942 until 1967. I have lived in various places but I have lived in South Gosforth, Newcasltle for 40 years.

Island - Have You actually tried Newky Brown. Are you still upright :-D :-D ;-)

Gp

GP, so was I - lived in Bensham - St. Cuthbert's Road, then Lobley Hill, then Wardley until 1958. After that, it was Peterlee (awful!), Hartlepool, then Stockton on Tees (very awful!) then moved to Norfolk in 1984.

Were you born in Queen Elizabeth Hospital? :-)

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to be nosey, just that I was born there! :-D

I miss the place, though I'm not sure I'd want to live up North again. Really feel the pull when I'm up there, though. Last time I was up there was last June, and spent a lot of time looking around.
How things have changed, but a lot of the old places are still there, at least in Newcastle. I hope Gateshead will be further improved, as Saltwell Park has. There's not much left of how I remember it. :-)

I think I've sent you to sleep with my rambling.

Goodnight, GP, sleep well. :-D <3

GinN - You can ask any question you like and I will answer it. Gateshead and Newcastle have changed dramatically over the years. At my age now I would'nt want to live anywhere else and I don't think you would like to move back.
