Description
This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Newcastle East has changed and developed over the last century
Newcastle East Through Time is a nostalgic look back on the historical past of a small but wonderful aspect of Tyneside. Drawing mainly on the sources Byker born photographer Walter Ritson(who happens to be the author's father), and the Newcastle Libraries and Information Service, this book documents the east end of Newcastle's bygone days from the late 1800s to the 1970s in picture format.Many buildings in this book are now sadly confined to the realms of history and are no longer standing, such as Spillers Flour Mill and Hawthorn Leslie's, but fabulous images remain to remind us of what once was. Modern day equivalent images show us what has taken their place and show how in the last hundred years or so just how times and places have changed. This is a captivating and varied assortment of images that reveals the area's rich heritage.
