Best city in the UK hands down. So greatful to grow up here.

I was born in Newcastle and lived there for twenty years. Probably the friendliest city in England.

I remember as a child I used to play on the Roman wall. I had a wooden sword and a dustbin lid I used as a shield to fight off all those invaders that came from other parts of the world to save my beloved "Denton Burn".  
Then along would come a Policeman to burst my bubble just as I was getting on top of it all. Then I remembered someone said, "He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day" so I did a bunk in to "Denton Dean" where I could hide out for ages (possibly 15 minutes)  then once more climb the wall and back into the fray,  phew! it was hard work being a six year old in those days.

Kevin (Geordie in Australia)

My husband and I are Geordies...although we have lived in USA since 1979...we never forget our roots! and we are very proud of them!!

We moved from Newcastle to New Zealand in 2006. I miss my family there and I want to go back again soon... Proud to be a Geordie

I played on Tanfield railway and the banks of the Tyne. Worked at the Grainger Market and was published in the Lit & Phil.
Lost family in the pit disasters. My family were ship builders, colliers and architects.
I'm so proud of my roots. Born in the 70's, a teen in the 80's. I think I was the last of a free generation.
I've rang bells around Durham, but one day, I'll get to Newcastle to ring. I'll be ringing for my roots.

Makes ya proud to be a geordie watching this 🖤🖤🖤

I live in America now but when I lived in England I worked as an installation engineer and visited most of these areas . I have also stood at he base of the angel of the north.

I have lived in Newcastle as a business student  in 1969.. I loved the city and its market.later I shifted to Oxford on work permit. I loved the city and your video which reminds me of my old days. Thanks for the video, Ram Saxena, New Delhi

I am not originally from Newcastle but so love this beautiful place. 👍🏼

What a great city

And yet still the northeast gets the bad end of the stick time and time again.

Fun fact, when I was an apprentice electrician, I was tasked with doing some work on a cctv camera on the corner of one of the buildings on grays St. I pushed the wrong button on the cherry picker sending it smashing into the corner of the building breaking the ornate corner of the building off. I still look up at that corner every time I'm in the toon. Sorry I was 16 and this was 22 years ago.

"Newcastle is a fighting city", indeed

Had a good day out there yesterday, great video

One of the most loveliest cities I have ever visit. I wish I lived there....

The Iron Bridge where Micheal Caine and Dorothy White argued in Get Carter in 1971, and Tony Beckley and George Sewell chased him in the red Jaguar with the passenger door missing.
RIP Tony and George.

This was one of the most interesting and informative videos I have seen on UTube. England would be much less of a country if not for Newcastle's role during the industrial revolution. Also loved your "Jacob's Jacket," which was as lively and fun as your presentation.

As  proud Geordie  born in Benwell my whole family worked in either Swans,  Parsons and Vickers Armstrong and I can still remember the pubs at the end of every street along Scotswood Road to Marlborough Crescent.

That coat is amazing.
