Weekend Header on Gateshead High St

Posted by Norman Dunn on 8/11/2025, 7:49 am

Most of us older people in Felling, Pelaw,Bill Quay, Hebburn, Jarrow and Shields have travelled down this High St on the Northern Buses to Newcastle's Worswick St many times, but a bit later than this era. If we could go back in time & continue down this High St, there would be no Tyne Bridge yet, but maybe doing preparation work for building it.

The Tyne Bridge we all know was opened in Oct 1928

I find these old photos amazing, so many people out and about going about their business.

Gateshead High Street was so full of life in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s such a pity it is more or less a dump now.

I love this photo - although I don't remember and of the shops shown.
