Well technically its outside Newcastle but nobody ever knows the name so I always just say Newcastle!! Its a village called Crawcrook, between Blaydon and Prudhoe. I was born in Hexham. Lived there for 11 years before I moved abroad and then to Hull. Still miss the North East - the friendliest people in this country by far.

Well, i,m very surprised at the lack of postings on this thread.I,m an adopted Geordie[with a Bucks accent] lived here thirty years and wouldn,t have it any other way.the family moved to Bucks in the 30s from Jarrow,i married a lass from scotswood ,and we came back to Newcastle [Stamfordham road] and felt i was back home as we came over the bridge.
