Whilst considering the geordie habit of saying 'eeee' at the beginning of sentences, it got me thinking about words geordies use at the end of sentences for no reason... 'wasn't me, like' 'wouldn't do that mind' 'here man' and ' i love it, me'. @JHCPAL

St. Nicholas Street, Newcastle at left with the Side at right c1888 & that unusual semi circle area at centre which looks like a fenced off garden of sorts & later had a public toilet built within it. Doric House House was later built on top of the toilets. At left a young girl sits behind a table selling wares of some sort & a shoeless boy carrying a bucket walks off in the direction of the Side. See comments.

⚠️North Pier has been closed immediately following vandalism. Eight glass bricks near the lighthouse were smashed, leaving the area unsafe and navigation equipment vulnerable, and causing an estimated £20,000 of damage. The Pier will remain closed while repairs are carried out.

🏗️ 100 years ago Gateshead was being reshaped for the Tyne Bridge. Taken 18 August 1926, this Dorman Long photograph shows workers cutting and rebuilding the roads that would form the bridge’s southern approach. Highlighting the scale of change happening at street level.
