Is that Manors Station at the bottom right of the photo? There's even less of it now if I remember right.

Its hard to believe how big a part of the transport scene it was, I think part of it was used for a couple of scenes in 'Get Carter' . I need to get up to Newcastle again, I haven't visited for a while.

This photograph was obviously taken by someone other than Jimmy Forsyth, so if you want to claim copyright please let us know.

It's the very person who inspired me with my photography :) Although I kinda messed on with photography in my teens, it wasn't until I was in my mid-20s that I discovered Jimmys work and what he had singlehandedly achieved against all those odds. It taught me that it doesn't matter what age, sex or social standing you are that you can do so much. Once I'd finally mastered the basics (I wouldn't listen to anyone when a teenager!) I literally took off with my hobby. I've far more to show than what I dump onto Flickr now and then. One day it will be shown.. Jimmy was well known and well loved by so many in the North East. There were others too but this man opened my world.

well done jimmy.

Blimey there's so much going on in this one! Probaby the best angle I've seen on Newcastle City - with some added Westerly parts too. Thanks for sharing.

Great view! 1977, the year Jimmy Carter spoke Geordie and the Queen opened Eldon Square. Is that a Triumph Bonneville Jubilee in Ken's window on Westgate Hill? Thanks
