Dabooka Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Fantastic. Never knew it as a cinema but I only moved up in '86 and was either Gateshead or the West End for me. Rarely found myself up there aside from the odd trip to the bike shop and if I recall an RS Components that was just up the road. Probably around 1990 onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake's Den Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I've just found this thread and it is amazing! Lots of memories from gowing up in the North East during the 80's and 90's. Here is a pic of Gateshead town hall that I downloaded from somewhere when researching my family tree. Nice Daimler DS for the mayor!

tooSavvy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I can remember going into the complex of buildings/streets that were opposite Eldon Square (left in picture) because a gun shop [air guns/pistols] was in there... Bagnall & Kirkwood, I'm sure, relocated to down from Theatre Royal. All totally nuked for... Ta Daaaah... Eldon Sq Shopping Centre [aye, I peeked through the little grilles in the wooden shuttering as they poured the founds/underground access roads] then, more recently, drove around those very catacombs to do WVM till repairs... And then... You die Memories, eh spike60 and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
