Two bridges on the Tyne post 1980s

I think that will be the 'Tuxedo Princess' floating Nightclub on the Gateshead side of the Tyne which opened 1983 and carried on there until 2007.

My eye was drawn to the scale of the Sunday market. What is it like nowadays?

I havent been to Newcastle Quayside Market for many many years so googled it & here is just one comment,so it looks as though it is still a great Market to visit Mac.

Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday & makes for a lovely date day! Always a great selection of vendors who are all friendly. Makes a lovely walk on a sunny day! Also got a cappucino from Taylormade coffee which was also 10/10! Can’t wait to come back try the other stalls.

It was always called Paddy's market, only visited it once, bought a pair of tights which were the new trend, upon opening them found to have only one leg, my mother said "You should have stuck to Shields Market. Happy days

Quite a few years ago my wife bought some tights at the South Shields market. They had access for three legs. No, they were NOT for gentlemen... Well..er... I don't think so.
