VERY early CX in middle distance, behind what looks like a Norway-registered Volvo Amazon.  The good old days of the Newcastle-Bergen ferry link...

Akenside hill, Newcastle. 

 

I do like odd buildings like this, pleased to say it probably still exists.......

Well it was definitely there in 2020 according to street view......

 

 

[Dabooka]

Yep, still there. Quite a decent boozer to be honest although not as ‘gritty’ as it used to be in the 90s.  Then again, not many are which is probably a good thing

[MiniMinorMk3]

Another shot of Akenside, this time from 1967.

Surely that's the Ship Tavern (now called The Tyne Bar) The Ship Inn is further along the river Ouseburn at the bottom of Stepney Bank

That's "Bessie Surtee's House", isn't it?  IIRC, the Cooperage is further upstream nearer the High Level Bridge Arch.
