OLD BOOZERS FROM THE NORTH
EAST - PART 4
One last round of North East pub nostalgia.
From Newcastle to South Shields, these old boozers played a huge part in local life for generations.

OLD BOOZERS FROM THE NORTH
EAST - PART 3
Before the chains, before the supermarkets, and before many of today's bars...
These were the pubs where
generations met for a pint, a game of darts, and a good crack.
Which pub do you wish was still here today?

Step back... to the Whitley Bay our Great-Grandparents knew.
before the crowds, before the noise...
When the seaside felt like a world away.
this was a day at the coast.
Any family memories of Whitley
Bay?

A city caught between two worlds...
...
From post-war recovery to a more modern Newcastle, life was changing
- new transport, new buildings, and a faster pace beginning to take hold.

This is Newcastle at the turn of the last century - built on industry, resilience, and everyday survival. Cobbled streets.

The North East was built on coal, courage and communities that never gave in.
From the pit villages to the winding gear on the skyline, these are the faces and places that shaped generations .

BIGG MARKET, NEWCASTLE
Early 1900s – Late 1900s…
Before the neon lights…
This was the Bigg Market.

ROKER BEACH, SUNDERLAND
Early 1900s-1950s…
Before the coastline changed...
Before modern life took over...
This was Roker.
As Sunderland grew into a powerhouse of shipbuilding along the River Wear.

Once upon a time in Whickham…
The streets, the buildings, the quiet corners — they’ve all seen generations pass through them.
From old black and white moments… to the world we recognise today.
But what if we could bring those old photographs back to life?#Whickham #Newcastle

Step back in time to a Newcastle few of us truly knew…
Before the modern skyline… before the rush of today… there was a city built on grit, industry, and everyday life along the banks of the Tyne.

Join me as we step back into the life of a shipyard worker...
a world built on steel, sweat, and survival.
Long before modern offices and 9-5 jobs, thousands of men across the North East walked through those gates..

Benwell, post-war Britain — a time of rebuilding, resilience, and everyday struggle.
Life wasn't easy. Money was tight, homes were basic, and the streets carried the marks of what had come before.
But there was something else too...
A sense of community. Familiar faces.
