Inside Newcastle Central Station, 1948

from North East Museums

• Christine Waterson said:

  When I started my first ever job in 1976, I had to go by train to central station and then walk up Westgate Road, to Rutherford Street and Bath Lane. I worked at the printers, Co-operative Press. This scene reminds me of all the times I had to race through the old station to catch my train home, my short cut was to race down Rutherford Street, across the road, down Pink Lane, straight through the main entrance and through to the platforms going to the coast. The ticket collectors on the gate always held the gate for me, or egg me on to "hurry". Happy days.

John Henry Mears (LOC)

  On July 2, 1913, John Henry Mears left New York City on the Mauritania, then took a combination of steamers, yachts, and trains (and a Hydroplane!) to circle the globe before returning to New York on August 6, 1913--"the fastest man to travel Round-the-World." His record remained for thirteen years. He was also a theatrical producer and lyricist. There's a while chapter about him in Carrol V. Glines, Round-the-World Flights (Brassey's Inc 2003). He wrote about his adventure in Racing the Moon (1928). www.wingnet.org/rtw/RTW001B.HTM www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=13105

  I guess beards were ok in the military back in those days. Neat photo, thanks for saving and posting these photographic histories.

• technogeo said:

  These are veterans of a battle that took place 50 years earlier. Possibly the last time some of them shaved.

• David Foster said:

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• Terry_NYorks said:

  ..... "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Now 150 years after the Gettysberg Address. .
