COLIN C. THE GEORDIE HISTORIAN
Приєднався 21 вер 2009
My Main aim for the channel is to let people know about the local history of the North East of England. I also do videos of things I like around the Rest of the Country. Nature and Wildlife is also a big love of mine. My videos are just simple I leave doing Hollywood Blockbusters to other You Tubers.
I FORGOT MY BUCKET AND SPADE
First time to South Shields in a long time. Wandered around brought many memories back. Even got a ride on the little Steam Train. I forgot my Bucket and spade so could not make a sand castle lol. And there was no way I was buying them now 50p the last time I bought them. I wont pay todays prices lol.

A new area opened up at Beamish Museum. The Drovers Tavern, Working Stables and Georgian Pottery. Realy enjoyed the new area beside Pockerley Old Hall. Maybe this area will get more visitors now. We love it and go a lot we like to cover the whole Beamish area. A lot seem to go to the Town and nowhere else.

Short walk in Pelton Who remembers Keith

A short walk in Pelton was looking forward to getting up on to the old Railway but the path was blocked off. Maybe next time. I wanted to walk further but the rain started and about 1 minute later it came down in sheets good job the Bus Shelter was there. We will go back and do another.

We love a stroll through any wooded area. A time to relax away from technology. Lovely places to wind down listen to the Birds and the wind blowing through the trees.

BIRTLEY RAILWAY STATION AND HOTEL

Both the Station Hotel and Railway Station long gone. I loved the old Station Hotel Building sad when it was demolished. But in our area we are used to things being demolished. So many memories are gone from my younger days. Hope you enjoy this look back and a few images from now.
MY OLD SCHOOL

Sadly its all gone now but I still have the memories some good and some not so good. I was there from 1969 till 1972. we had some great teachers Mr Meek lovely man sadly he passed away a few years ago. My last teacher was from Canada not so good there she was only there for a year but that was enough lol.
THE OLD BEAMISH LINE
Переглядів 685Місяць тому
Took a walk along the old Beamish Railway line to see where the Tunnels and Signal Box and Station used to be. A lovely place for a walk and I get so exited when I see old Tunnels. And the tunnels were in good condition. And you could get in to them a lot of old Railway Tunnels are blocked off in this Country. Well worth a walk if you get the chance.

I guess the UA-cam CC translators don’t speak Geordie 😂🤣
That last pic with the bright red bus, looks a lovely day, from better times! Shame the UK's traditions are being lost to I**igrants now.
Brilliant little film
Thank you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks a nice place for a walk. A beautiful day. And everything nice and green. Love to you both.
Great video hubby. It was a lovely day. Some of the subtitles were so funny😅xxx
Glad to see they have got a real steam loco back. I went there or somewhere very near in the early 60's as an 8 year old and there was also a real steam loco. I went back a couple of years later and it was a petrol or diesel engined box on wheels for a loco which was a real disappointment. I wouldn't pay to ride on "fake" train so the driver apologized and let me ride for free because I was so disappointed.
Reminds me of the steps in our park. Glad you made it. Love to you both.
Made it! 👏👏👏👏
Lol
Hi Colin I worked on the valley in my teens/early twenties, Beam optical , John Barrens, Queensway textiles to name but a few , in the sixties you could leave one job on a Friday and start another on the Monday , happy times
Much better times carh. I still live in the past lol.
I remember this bad winter I was about 5yrs old at the ,best fun ever no school plenty of play time until it got to cold ,I lived in st Agnes Cornwall at that time with mum and dad . I makes me laugh when people say look at all this snow ,what that's not snow I'd say laughing ! But ye in was hard and I don't think the youth of today could handle it ,on top of that we didn't have double glazed windows or radiators in our house either we huddled mainly in the kitchen ,in the mornings I would scratch pictures in the ice that had formed on the inside of the window .I'd say to mum it feels colder today and she would have you got your vest on ? Or put on another jumper ! I remember the snowball fights we had walking home from school when we did get back in classroom .hard times people today don't realise that with all their mod cons mobile phones , games consoles didn't have a TV until about 1965 black n white it was only 3 channels then if I remember BBC 1 BBC 2 and westward
Lovely!! Thanks so much for sharing
great video.
Cheers Grumpy glad you enjoyed.
This was well over half a century back. Climate has been changing since the dawn of time and will continue to do so - Meanwhile, the rent assist billionaires keep collecting government handouts to come up with all forms of failed attempts to alter the climate of the world, with ever-so-minuscule to no effects. Schools did not close, and everyone forged forward together.
A cracking band Colin, still listen to them today, Martin knocked about with a lad in my brothers class at St Bede's in Lanchester and got to know him, this was before the band of course, so that's my tenuous link to Prefab Sprout...🤣
Love them Allen . Sad how Paddy's health is not good. Great Songwriter. I still play them I have A Prefab Sprout Facebook Group
Hold on tight. Next stop Newcastle.
Cracking video, Colin.
Cheers Andrew hope your well mate
Nice day out guys. Are there many ships using this route?
Hi James we saw 3 when we were there one had just left the Harbour to let this one in.
I remember back '66 going from the Tyne to Oslo, Norway on the Fred Olsen line with a Gateshead boys grammar school skiing trip. Thanks for posting the videos.
Such a lovely, relaxing video Colin. Fond memories of watching the ships dock @ South Shields as a child with my family. Thanks for the post
Hi Chasidah hope you are well
@@colinthegeordiehistorian10 - all well, Colin. Hope you and Carole are fine....
Great video hubby. Loved the new additions to Pockerley. xxx
They were great wifey Carole xxx
Thats a beautiful Shire horse. And that tavern is how i remember the old days. The fiddlers were an early form of a jukebox. Both of you love going to Beamish. Wish we had something similar. Love to you both.
Lovely Horse James we love the animals all over Beamish. Hope you and Sanja are well
Hiya Colin Do you have any pics of the old youth centre near the baths?
If ever a local council actually did its job its the refurb of Spanish City and the closure of the puke pits that served stag nights or hen parties in Whitley bay - congratulations.
Happy borfday hinny ,ya a canny lass.
Happy Birthday Carole. All the best from me and Sanja.
Thank you both ❤
That arcade was part of my teenage best years on a Saturday with me friends . The memories make me feel a deep loss for my past ,and for our lost city ,that has long gone ,and doesn't even look like our town anymore. And needles to say hardly a northern face around now 😢😢😢😢
100% agree Jean
Had to do my paper round on foot due to deep snow, it took so long.
Lovely photos. Thank you
I played there at weekends as a kid in the woods near Ingersoll rand then worked my apprenticeship at Rose Forgrove . Even learned to drive and passed my test there
Great video! Spent my teenage years in the '60s at "The Spana"! Happy carefree days!
If you walk past the church there is a turning take the road past the church yard through a new gate carry on through the other new gate an you will join the track. Improvement work on the track next couple of months
Thanks for that Stephen
Great video hubby. Shame about the rain we got soaked xxx
Another great video hubby. It was a lovely walk. Nice to see the Duck Pond in better condition xxx
He was handsome in his youth! A good man, too.
Keith’s shop was opposite the bus stand where you stopped the video.
Canny walk peeps. Its nice to join you. We don't have wooded areas like you do. Apart from the park. Very relaxing. Love to you both. .
He was. His death was a shock but we still remember his joy for life and his big smile and every minute of the time we shared with him.
Keep them coming...a feq houses closest to the the british oxygen company only 4? One was Afflect, another Johnson or other spelling...a younger mate was george johnstone...born circa 1952
Those houses are still there surrounded by a lot more now. As the B.O.C land is a housing estate now
I go for triple heart bypass surgery in 4 days, so I apologise for wrong reply to explicit video...I saw your video about the Station Hotel and Birtley railway station at the end of station lane just before the hill up to Ouston. When I was in Mrs Green's class one below Mr English's class me and my mates would go down to the sidings north of the Station...climb into the wagons and found wondrous shiny stainless steel disc's a treasure trove...we traded them at George st school....bad lads, soon to be on dragons den or jail....
Next door was police station, my dad gave the Sargent he'll for frightening me fie climbing ower the wall between birtley baths and Apollo cinema short cut over Birtley welfare Footy team
Pretty good video 👻🔥🍍.
Cheers
