Good video. The council has always had the policy of ripping down solid properties to build new cardboard houses. The've done the same in the west end, instead of tackling the rennovations and anti social problems head on. I agree that the Wall is a eyesore. Looks like we're stuck with it, as its listed/protected or something isnt it?

Bye that brings back some memories ! I worked for stanley millar on the top part of the wall, seems like a long time ago now. i was only 20 yrs old at the time and we had so many good times. I will never forget the old Byker

Does anyone have any idea where FELL ROAD in Byker was - or where it was in relation to what's there now? I'm trying to build up a picture of my fathers childhood and that's where he was born. Appreciate any help.

I loved old Byker, I hate new Byker. The building of the Byker Wall, meant to me the loss of so much in Byker. You can never get that back. It is gone forever.
Thank you very much for showing this.
