Ahh..... The 'savoury lungfuls!'... 😵‍💫

The bus to South Shields left from there so, as a kid, Ma would go shopping and we would wait for the bus home. The stands were a 'herring bone' layout and you stood with your back to the next bus up the stalls.. so to speak.

The drivers left the engines on and we were smoked out, like kippers 🤪

..... the gudd auld dayzz 🙄

My ex used to love Wilders which was around the corner (and now thankfully gone). I was more a ‘monkey bar’ kind of chap when in that part of town

Back when the A1 Great North Road still ran through The Toon: over the Tyne Bridge, up Pilgrim Street/Northumberland Street/Barras Bridge, then between West Jesmond and the Town Moor.

Sitting upstairs on a fully loaded double decker (Bristol VR or Leyland Olympian) as it pulled out of there to go home was something else. The place stunk of diesel and if you looked up, the netting was full of dead pigeons.
