Can’t remember the last time I would’ve seen an Horizon

That was pretty much the view from the rear rooms of the Polytechnic halls of residence.

Happy days... ?

I often shop at Binns, I once got half of a perfectly good lasagna from the one behind an Italian restaurant.

Folklore opines Binns negotiated a 'Shop at Binns' deal which involved bus repainting WITH signwriting. You will note none of this is stick on advertising.

..... aneehoo.... Seems just when the 'agreement' ended was unclear and bus painters kept the 'tradition' going virtually forever. Even the PTE yellow (complete restructure of the bus network) atlanteans had it.

De reg seems to be the end.... Or the 'mask n splash' paint contractors used by them just blew them over  lol

Shop at Binns certainly outlived Binns by a few years in some areas. It's class though. Shop at Binns should be the only advertising you're allowed on anything.

Only just discovered this thread. 

Some warm fuzzy memories of 'home' in here, thank you. ?

The old library was on Ocean Road. Fiction to the left, non fiction to the right.

Seven years later, when I was an idle student living in a shit upstairs flat in Benwell, there was a similar 911 always parked outside the bookies on the West Road.

Could it be...?

Gasser stance on the VDP!

Have you got a link to the South Tyneside/National filling station photo please? I know someone not on AS who'd like to see that (no, he doesn't have a 'special interest' in bespectacled ladies leaning against signs).

I don't man no sorry. Was just pulled from a Facebook group. You could just save it from here and email it on?

I'm really sad, I honestly thought you were getting these all from your own collection.

More superb photos of Provi land, Jim. Brings back nostalgia and great memories of the region plus was fascinated to see the old photos of the shops in Washington in busier times as I was born just across the road in the Speculation Inn. Not one of them boarded up !
