Carliol House above the NEEB shop (north eastern electricity board) where my dad worked - his office was on the second floor, his window would be just above the BT van on the right of the pic

sadly now empty and all boarded up, no one wants big offices in the city centre anymore.

Beatties toyshop on the left with the black and yellow sign - had some cracking model railway layouts, there was one that ran on a high up shelf round the whole of the shop !

They were also the go to place for Tamiya R/C stuff when I was a nipper. Had video running on loops of the Sand Scorcher blazing the dunes and Vanessa's Lunch Box popping wheelies.

Beatties in Newcastle and the Metro was amazing for R/C stuff. Although my ‘local’ was The Model Shop in Chester-le-Street.

Jospeh’s in Sunderland was the bollocks for 1:43 and Scalextric.

Ahhhhh.

Small world.

Up until about a year ago I used to play synth with a band in the building you're referring to. The band has now, er, disbanded, but the basement/cellar room was ours. Say hello to Keith for me!

Ah that’ll be ur booze and bong then!

Keith moved us down into the cellar for ‘2-3 weeks’ whilst he renovated Rm2....... we’ve been down there for 6 months now!!

*Definitely not governor.

TBH I recon that room is the best one there, loads of character with it's cobbled stone floor and vault in the back (Used to be a jeweller IIRC). We used to use it for parties/card nights as well as band practice and unbeknown to Keith even used to sleep down there sometimes after a night out on the town (Pretty grim but cheaper than a taxi)

It's perhaps before your time, but about 20 years ago Keith used to run that cellar as an unlicensed bar. I saw some great gigs down there in the late nineties when I was 16/17. Halcyon days!

It’s a great space and we used to hang down there all the time but then the mold got hold of a lot of our gear....
