Im a Southerner but love Gateshead.Havent been there for a while so nice to come across this piece of film,brought back some good memories.Thanks for making the effort.

[hugehelmet]

What a wonderful piece of film from my home town.

My sister and father still live in Gateshead (Mother passed away in 2009) but I moved to Wakefield in 1986, and sis had her wedding reception at the Springfield Hotel on the Dryden Road junction, which is now knocked down.

I take it you are driving a Volvo?

@Podsnapperymee.............Vi­deo Starts off On Durham Road, Gateshead, England. The Angel of the North is about 100 metres directly behind. If you go on google maps and type in address I just mentioned you will be able to go through the Street View and this way you will be able to pan around 360 degrees. (Bet you already done that, sorry I,m a year late with this.)

[gary72carol61]

I drive around Gateshead and Newcastle for a living!!

I have been driving around Gateshead and Newcastle shooting video in HD 720p.

I will edit some of my clips to make a 10 minute video then I will upload on this site.

If you want to see my videos so far just click on my name above. I will post my video soon.

Gateshead was very rough and deprived till late 1970's, since then it has improved dramatically.

My dad was manager of the shop currys there in a very deprived part of it and there were regular raids and arsene attacks and at the time it was simmilar to glasgow but now it is generally fine.

I live in york but always enjoy a visit down to newcastle.

Thank-you for this little ride. My grandparents were from Gateshead, then to Canada, where I was born and raised. Now I live in Texas. 'Visited Gateshead briefly once. It's lovely to take your little "tour" on your way to work. 'Creative.

Lol It's alright talking posher, you just need to talk slower lol.

I bet they would take a welder on here in Alberta, cos it's a shame you're only getting 20 hrs a week.

We don't have long term plans, so we will be living in the truck after I pass my test, cos you have to re-do the class one over here.

Spent a bit of time up your way when I was back home and loved it, but now it's time to drive Canada/USA.
