They appear to be back in Newcastle in 1911, with George, Ann, Phyllis and Sarah in the household.

Sorry, we're not allowed to give full details for 1911.

wow, you are so clever.

All addresses seem to be in the area that my father in law lived (unfortunately, every street has now been demolished).

Right in the centre of Newcastle, and even though Oystershell lane sounds quaint, believe me I don't think it would have been.  Newcastle Breweries was actually built over Oystershell Lane, and now a good bit of this is demolished and being redeveloped as the "science city".

It's lovely when, even though not confirmed, it seems to fall into place with the flower seller theme, as the family is definitely linked with the flower/vegetable market (again demolished) in Newcastle.

I've just found some old environmental health photos of Seaham Street

Lovely eh.  Mind looking at the rest of the photos makes Newcastle out to be a lovely place!!

Thanks again.

I know that the centre of Newcastle and the the river side is now very modern and fashionable but the last time I was looking across at it, from the Sage, I was thinking just how much history has been lost in the development. The same apples to all of our cities and whilst it is true to say that some of the poorer areas were truly dreadful to live in, I wish that one or two streets could have had a preservation order slapped on them for social history purposes. We have some great living museums around the country at places like Styal Mill, Beamish etc but who is really going to be able to explain inner city Victorian England to future generations.

Great photographs though. I wish I could find some like that of my various areas of interest.

Very true Jen

I can't speak for the area which you are interested in, but I love the site below for the Newcastle Area, I think it all depends on who is contributing to the threads.

I have been looking for photos of a particular street in Newcastle and their is a gentleman on this site who is a mine of information.

Have a look and see how active your area is.

Thanks Neale,

Interesting link. My main interest is in the Teesside area which has several pages but which mostly seem to be of modern photography. I shall have to sign up and see if anyone can point me in the direction of the historical stuff.
