When I began my apprenticeship at Vickers Ltd, Scotswood Training School (1973) the pubs along Scottsie were still up (terraces gone = see: Likely Lads/Get Carter). All pubs on opp side of road from river except 'Hydraulic Crane' <right next to door, into works, for my school>. Dabooka and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabooka Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 When I lived in the west end my pal and I used to, on occasion, frequent the Hydraulic in it's final form. It was under the ownership of a certain family back then. This would have been early / mid 90s I reckon. It was definitely during the ram raiding peak on Tyneside! I believe it was the last surviving pub on Scotswood Road at the time? tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I lied, it didn't take all day at all; done by 4, and I even found time to make a couple of calls and read a few emails. Fantastic stuff. Is that ABC cinema not the old one in Blunderland, now whoring itself out as 'The Point' entertainment* centre? It looks like Holmside and has a 567 phone number. I confess to not knowing Sunderland all that well at the time and I cannot even recall where the ABC was in Newcastle right now. Bottom of West Road opposite Tilleys? I think it went to a Cannon before shuttering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
