I know I've mentioned this website before, but it's been a long time since I first brought it to everyone's attention so I thought I'd give it another airing.
Those of you with an interest in Newcastle's past should check out the 'Newcastle Stuff' website at https://newcastlestuff.co.uk/ - a splendid effort, and one of the few places on the internet dedicated to the history of the city. As far as I can tell, it is still being updated from time to time, so do keep tabs on it.
Those of us looking for a bit of old footage of Newcastle (or anywhere, for that matter) turn, of course, first of all to YouTube. But don't forget the British Film Institute, where what looks like the majority of their film clips are available for free. For example, those relating to Newcastle can be found here. I'm not sure what a subscription brings you, but you may wish to have a browse of the free stuff when you've next got a hour or two to spare.
Remember: if you've got any recommendations to pass on regarding the history of Newcastle, or anywhere else in the North-East of England, then do let me know at
