Norwegian plates on the Cortina?  Remember when people used to come over on the ferry from Bergen (??) for cheap Christmas shopping in the Toon?

Oil/gas platform?

Elaborate garden play set.

After being rejected by Nucassle Toon Coonsul as an addition to the Civic Centre, the swing that goes with that playset was eventually bolted to the top of a tower block in Amsterdam...

Blimey! Penultimate pic is of the Colliery Tavern, bottom of Wayman St, corner of Southwick Road. Wearmouth pit baths on left of pic. Grew up in Wayman St in the 60s, in the street that would have been behind the billboards, picture dated around '73/'74 mebbes? Happy teenage and earlier memories there.  Couple of Wayman St car memories from those days: a black and red, tatty, Morris 8 series E two door, a blue Panhard, parked at opposite ends of street,  and a Ferrari Dino driving slowly down the street, with a 'Jason King' a like at the wheel. Thanks very much for posting the pics, great. BBCM (living in exile, away from canny auld Sunlan').
