View of Newcastle from Westgate Road

from North East Museums

• optimal chicken said:

  Took me a while before I realised I was at the top of 'The Hill'.

• AureliaB20GT said:

  Area known as Big Lamp

• keen earth said:

  Could this have been taken from the flats known as "Todds Nook"?

• keen earth said:

  Note the trolley bus wires. It took some skill by the trolley bus driver to negotiate this junction of Elswick Road and Westgate Road. A slight misjudgement and the trolley would become "de-wired"

• optimal chicken said:

  AureliaB20GT Heard of the name but never known where it was. Cheers! [https://www.flickr.com/photos/pityarder] I was thinking the flats too - that or from scaffolding during their construction. It's hard enough driving a car through that junction never mind trying to keep wires joined..

Wash day on RECRUIT (LOC)

• Christian Shepherd said:

  USS Recruit was a wooden replica of a battleship built by the US Navy in New York City, as a recruiting tool and training ship during World War I. Recruit was located in Union Square from 1917 until the end of the war. In 1920 the Recruit was decommissioned and dismantled.

• Arden said:

  Thank you Christian Shepherd. We will add more details when we update.

12th N.Y. at 59th St. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Art Siegel said:

  This was taken in Columbus Circle, in front of the Pabst Grand Circle Hotel (looking south down Broadway). Reischenweber's, in back of the hotel at 58th street, was a famous jazz club. The 12th marched from their armory at 63rd St. and Columbus Avenue at 4:45 p.m. on June 27, 1916 for their destination on the Mexican border. "The men of the Twelfth are mostly mechanics and other hard workers. Their relatives and friends - including many babies - were all around the armory. The police tried to keep the soldiers and their families separated, but through Sixty-third street and down to Columbus Circle the mass moved as one. "These people, said Col. Wadsworth, are going to get a chance to say good-by to the boys. Halt!" So the regiment halted while the kissing went right on. New York Sun, June 29, 1916. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030272/1916-06-29/ed-...
