Fabulous photos! Thank you Marc. The deep sense of nostalgia that some of them evoked from my childhood and teens in Newcastle….
There’s a long tradition in my family that when coming north in the car, we sing very loudly (and frequently out of tune) the chorus of ‘Fog on the Tyne’ whenever we cross the river and come back to Newcastle.

Strange thing, Memory:
“…. But is this image of those years so true
I do not think so they were not so kind
I now forget the times when life was blue
and only think of things that please my mind.“
Thank you, Bryan, and thank goodness our memories function so! Long live those songs that pull us home!
