Weekend Header photo in Newcastle's Grey St

Posted by Norman Dunn on 23/10/2026, 10:26 am

This photo dates from just a few years after our families had went through the Second World War.
Greys Monument in view was built over 100 years earlier in 1838.

Makes you wonder at the skills involved to build a monument as tall as that all those years ago without proper scaffolding or cranage !

True Mac but some poor bloke had to climb up and replace the head after it was blown off by a lightning strike in the 1940's!
