  • 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?

  • Great video, If this was of a foriegn country we would be sending aid.

  • 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.

  • thank you so much for this video. I am in Oz and have visited NOT a few times as my grandparents came from there. the Paul and Brodie families. It was quite emotional viewing it but wonderful.

  • byker park,harbottle park, dougs motorbike shop,the cully,shipley street bath house,those were the days, I worked on the construction of the byker wall and metro viaduct,

  • why oh why could the old houses were not renovated and brought up to standerd beats me

    Byker wall is a tip im sorry to say

    Planners should hang there heads in shame

  • 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.
