Mid week header from 100 yrs ago

This High St is one that most of us travelled down in later years on a Northern Bus on our way to to Newcastle's Worswick St.
Our famous Tyne Bridge which opened in 1928 would be being built at the time this photo was taken but just out of site half a mile away.

Absolute brilliant photo, but if I may be bold enough to say logo splashed a Ross these brilliant photos completely spoils them. AMEN.

Amazing how Gateshead High Street used to be even in this days, it’s an absolute disgrace now,such a pity.
