Tyne Bridges

I must join Gateshead library.

I haven't been there for some time, but last time I was there I was most impressed with the Local Studies section of Gateshead Library, and the staff were extremely helpful.

I joined this pm, and started to see what they have.
Another interest of mine is WW2 on Tyneside, so had a look at 'Tyneside in the Second World War' by Craig Armstrong. I've ordered it from Amazon.

TriciaK, Google North-East Diary 1939-1945, and you will find a site which covers the entire north east during WW2.  It has more information than you could wish for.  Beware though, once you find it, like me, you will spend the rest of the day and probably tomorrow, unearthing absolutely everything which occurred.

I've just had a quick look, and as you say I could be on there some time!
All that going on so nearby - as a child I wouldn't be told about it, but adults must have known.

As a Purist your move has been from Northumberland to County Durham. Nothing wrong with that. Hope the Thought Police do not catch you.

Gaan canny with thi lass - at least she has moved back north away from those barbarians who live south of the Tees, or the Wear (?) or even the Tyne. !!!!

Careful now, this ‘barbarian’ lives south of the Tyne, but is still in Northumberland

You never know - I might well end up back in Blyth if husband goes first - he doesn't like the seaside.
