5 things you didn’t know about Newcastle Quayside. Including the day it was destroyed!! 

At the beginning I say 1954, which of course is impossible. Please ignore that linguistic faux pas, I meant to say 1854, which I state later on. 👍🏻

I’m a student in Newcastle and I love hearing about the history of Newcastle and surrounding areas, keep the videos coming Eddy!

Love Newcastle, a fantastic city full of great friendly people , they are a class apart.

One of my favourite places the Crown Posada, glad it’s back open again

Love the Bridges, love the Quayside and love the Toon! It’s full of surprises isn’t it!!? Your research into the history along with the delivery is a pleasure to listen too. Looking forward to more!

From one Geordie to another. Thanks for a brilliant view on the city.

Great video, I have only visited Newcastle recently and I must say it's one of my favourite places in the UK! I wish I watched this video before my trip. Beautiful city, convenient transport (metro service is fantastic) and very friendly people!

I enjoyed that thanks, I'm a Mackem but am interested in all North East history and have learnt a couple of things there. Sadly our own town council(s) in Sunderland through the years have managed to obliterate almost all of our historic buildings, Newcastle hasn't suffered quite as badly thankfully. The Crown Posada, by the way, is a great bar!

Love these local history videos Eddy! I drop bits of knowledge in through the day to my wife and she thinks I'm reet clever ;)

From a fellow Geordie now living in Liverpool, thank you so much for doing this video. There is nothing like returning to Newcastle by train & looking down river to see the Tyne Bridge. I will never tire of that feeling for home. Very best wishes & please keep up all of the good work.

The Quayside...this takes me back. When I lived in Newcastle in the early 80's this was a favourite haunt. We'd start our drinking in the Crown Posada, then the Red House and then go on to The Cooperage if there was a band on (Arthur 2 Stroke and The Chart Commandos for preference) otherwise we'd go up to The Baltic pub (not the arts centre which was still an empty warehouse). Occasionally we'd go on the Tuxedo Princess nightclub boat but I preferred Tuxedo Junction in the town. I can still remember some old, derelict wharfs near the site where the Millennium Bridge is now sited...there was a sign there which said "Trespassers who are not drowned will be prosecuted ". Happy days.

I love the history of Newcastle. You should do an hour long documentary, or even longer if needed, detailing the history of the city. You could use old photos and show how much things have changed over the years. I was amazed watching a film called Payroll. It’s crazy how much the world has changed in 50 years and it is almost terrifying to imagine where it could be in another 50…

Love these style of videos, even though I live in Newcastle helps me find out how little I know lol. Great video Eddie!

Being brought up in this region, there are still things I did not know about. Especially the great fire of Newcastle. Your videos are amazing. So informative. Cheers, marra. Keep up the good work.

For all work started on the Sydney Harbour Bridge first' the Tyne Bridge was actually completed first' it was due to the sheer size of the thing. The size difference is immense! If you ever go to Aus be sure to do the guided tour over the span. Great content as always 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Eddie I think the manager of the Crown Posada told me once that it used to have windows all the way down one side of the building but they blew out during the war so they bricked the holes up and then put all the mirrors on the wall to create light. Might have got the story mixed up after a couple of pints though 🙂

Crown Posada...quality old school pub..been in a few times when visiting Newcastle 👏👏👏👏

Love this, at the time of writing this comment I've just got home after walking through the quayside from work, despite being such a small city were lucky to have such a massive hub of British history packed into it

In the early 1960’s my Mother worked in an office next to Bessie Surtees House, which is now all the same building. She worked on the 3rd floor, the rest of the upper floors were empty. I used to explore the old building on Saturday mornings when she was working by herself. Behind it was a very narrow medieval back lane or street, which could be accessed through a pub yard at the bottom of Dean Street. There is a bit of a cliff face there with ancient steps leading part way up, you can probably still see them from the Moot Hall car park. I was about 12 years old, and totally fascinated with the buildings. The upper floors had not been converted to offices, so we’re still as they were originally. The Company She worked for was Foy, Morgan and Company, they were Timber shipping agents. Later moved into Exchange Buildings.

Eddy I only wish you had been my history teacher!! Class aboot the Ceaser quote, top one mate!😀

Grew up in Newcastle and moved to New Zealand a few years ago. Your channel brings back so many great memories. Love the channe mate keep it up👍⚫️⚪️

Fascinating, and well told! Thanks Eddy!

Great video. The Crown Posada is on the list to visit next time in visiting from the Midlands. My daughter is at Uni in Newcastle and it's interesting to pick bits of local history from your videos.

Another great video! Thank you 💖 I took a walk along here last week 💖

Thank you Eddy keep them coming

Another great history lesson Eddie! Thanks very much for improving my home town history. I've forwarded tyem to friends and family who also love them.🙂

Great video! Thanks so much for this!

It’s lovely to see the old history remembered Eddy and shared with our younger generations. As you didn’t mention who built the swing bridge, I’m hoping that there will be, at some time in the future, a video on the history of it, and that of one of Britain’s greatest engineers and industrialist of his day, William Armstrong?

Love these videos! Really like hearing about local history, i never knew about the fire!

Keep up the fantastic Videos, Subscribed . Great work fella

Loving the historical videos Eddy! Glad to see your channel getting the recognition it deserves :) Makes is proud to be a Geordie!

Really interesting video again Eddy. Look forward to more! I didn’t know about the Great Fire of Newcastle 🔥

Awesome video, I'm enjoying learning about Newcastle and it's history in these video's.

Magnificent stuff as always pal. One of my favourite places to visit with work !

Thank you so much for your very interesting videos. Please keep them coming, very enjoyable to watch and listen to. 👍😉👏 xx

These videos are incredible!! Thank you Eddie. ❤️ my favourite city in the world. I could watch your videos all day!

I'm a couple of days late with a comment as I had no internet where I live but back on now. Another great history lesson Eddy very interesting and the bridges are always a big feature in Newcastle. I remember when I was a kid my dad would take me and my brothers on a Sunday to see street acts on the quayside.

Cracking video mate.. Interesting stuff never knew about the fire.

Brilliant I love your videos all the goodies should watch them. I was born and bred in Newcastle and a lot of things you talk about I did not know, more please great research.

Loving this series, keep it going!

Thanks for the history lesson and Great video Eddie as a life long Newcastle fan and not born a Geordie great to know more history about the city so thank you

Cracking video. Crown Posada is my favourite pub.

Amazing and highly interesting video as always

Very interesting mate well put together.

@7:08 you can see the Offshore bar. One of my favorite bars ever. The Quilted Camel was equally as good as well, right next door. People don't realize that the quayside was THE place to be. The earth is 4.5 billion years old. How lucky was I to be have my youth at the same time as the quaysides heyday.

Great Video! Explained the story really well. Subscribed :)

Great video Eddy, I love watching videos about history but when there about local history they mean that little bit more. Some very interesting points discussed in this video that I didn't even know about lol

loving your videos it is bit sad not see alot of good youtube channels in newcastle i would say for me you in top 10 youtube channels in newcastle

Brilliant video as always.

Keep that local history coming lad, love your work mate

Love watching videos about history but when it's local history it means that little bit much. Great video Eddy keep up the excellent content mate.

Another tremendous video 👍🏼

Great to know about the history of my home town

Brilliant channel this 👍 love it all Eddie. 💥

Very informative

Good video. I certainly didn't know anything about Quayside other than knowing it was there! Not being local I found it really interesting. Look forward to seeing more.

I’m born and bred Newcastle (West Denton) and didn’t know half of what you have explained in your videos. Love your delivery mate keep it coming.

Very interested and informative..👍👍 Certainly a jewel in the crown

Thanks again very nicely shared

Good to find out some history about where we live, which we wouldn't ever really think of searching up

Loved the vid! Often drink in the crown posada and wondered how it had such an odd name? Now we know! Brilliant!!! 👍😊🍻

Thanks!

Hey, great video.. I’m also starting my History of the Tyne Series great work on telling the stories. I love the history of the north such an amazing past.

Great video.

Ah this is great, many a class evening I've spent in the Crown Posada since the 80s - think it's time for another Quayside night out!

another class vid

Brilliant insight eddy 👍👏👏👏 ..

Great video. Thanks. I’m just about to move to the Quayside

Great video Eddy, got me thinking about the old Tuxedo Princess nightlife boat that was on the Tyne remember a mate telling me about the time he went there and bumped into Emlyn Hughes and a few other big name footballers.

Brilliant

Great video 👍

On the right there you've got THAT BAD BOY! (The Tyne bridge) Quality mate. Loving your content, from a fellow Geordie 👍

Interesting and accurate video, luckily enough to have live about 5 mins walk to the Redheugh bridge and watch the latest one being built, do you remember a boat called the Bessie Surtees constantly on the Tyne. Massive fire tried to get the chronicle interested into doing a historical piece about 3 years ago.

Great video, always thought Crown Pasarda was the oldest pub in Newcastle so learnt something there.

Mate, as a Geordie who, for one reason or another hasn't been there for years, thank you.

Eddy I love the history. Looking forward to the video about Cesar visiting the Tyne. I also have a future video request for you. Can you make a list of must see places for a foreigner’s first trip to Newcastle? I’m hoping to plan a trip there for next year and go to my first match in person! ⚫️⚪️

I remember taking my sister's ex-husband round Newcastle. Took him on the blinking eye bridge to get a photo of the Tyne Bridge. It turned out that the timing was perfect. The sun had just gone down behind the horizon but was still illuminating the clouds in the background. The photo looked great. Walking back up from the quayside was also funny, as he's Dutch, so had no concept of a hill.

Eddy .. I've just very recently found your channel and I'm loving it. Great work. As for the Crown Posada, check out the track by Smoove and Turrell. It's a fantastic tribute to the establishment. It's on their album "Crown Posada".

great video of the area . but you missed out on the scotswood bridge between newcastle and gateshead . you may also want to look into the history of the building on the newcastle side of the swing bridge. it was a morgue once upon a time. keep up the great work as i really enjoy the history of newcastle

My daughter just learned about the explosion at school, apparently it could be heard in Alnwick and Hartlepool 😮

I can’t get away with the way you say redheugh, nevertheless mint video mate.

I used too work at offshore44 back in the day maybe 20 years ago now, shit I feel old

The "Five Bridges Suite" is a modern piece of music, written in the 1960s, combining classical music and jazz. Written about the UK city of Newcastle upon Tyne, it was released as an album by the Nice as Five Bridges,

I ant believe that nobody has Sponsored voucher Eddy , Wots the marra wi them ,, I LOVE watching FROM SICILY where I moved to 25 yrs ago,,,CANNY NEWCASTLE ❤ *
