Looks like Pat Seed with Brendan. She was his PA before "Veiw From".

So much to the city that I've never seen. . Interesting to see the route to Haymarket that the Metro takes - a large 'S' bend for sure.

Such a shame that so much of historic Jesmond was destroyed by the Central Motorway (east) construction. Blights the whole area as this shot shows so well.

an Austin, a VW beetle, a Morris Minor and a Ford Capri (?). I love the phrase traffic treacle - when traffic returns I think I will pirate your idiom

Streetview The Kennedy's Bar sign appears to be still there. But the buildings either side are gone.

sorry there is no VW, it's another Austin, is it a Princess (?)

Foxglove The red one behind the Morris Minor? It's an 1100, possibly an Austin but it could also be the Morris sibling. I can't see a Capri in the shot. The beige car is a Hillman Avenger. The white car behind looks as if it might be a Fiat 1100R and the dark-coloured car entering the junction is a Vauxhall Viva. While most of the cars are, indeed, 1960s models (and VZC 480 is getting long in the tooth) the Viva and the Avenger are 1970s cars so I would guess that the photo might be from 1973 on?

I spy a Hillman Avenger, which appeared in February 1970. So the date range is 1970s, not 1960s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillman_Avenger via Andrew~Henderson
