I didn't manage to get a look at the older stuff in this photo when I was younger - lots of it makes sense now. Welbar House is no longer with us (some of its years were spent housing some DSS departments..) though something new has replaced it. An 'up and coming' area of Newcastle - spectacular at night too.

Lindisfarne shot the video for "Run for Home" on top of Wellbar House

Loving these aerial shots of Newcastle! Absolutely fantastic.

We've lost a lot since these were taken - Manors Station should have remained imho. It's good though that we're now losing some of the awful concrete close to Swan House. Mind you, it could have been far worse - I've seen the original plans!

These aerial photos from 77 are brilliant!!!!

Crikey. I didn't realise it took so long to build the Civic Centre. I can't see Jim Merrington sat in his Tyne Brewery office.

Power station beside the brewery? Or could it simply be a large boiler house for the brewing process??

If your talking the building with the two chimneys on Corporation Street, I think it was something to do with the brewing. You Could look in the windows as you walked past.
