About this film
'Newcastle Upon Tyne': 'A Journey Through Time': Full Public Domain 1990s VHS Tape HD. Take the ultimate walk down Memory Lane as we visit ‘Newcastle upon Tyne, of yesteryear. Produced with the assistance of the ‘Tyne and Wear Archive Service’ and using rare film footage from its splendid collection, this video charts the history and development of Newcastle using images from the 1920s to the 1970s. Sequences include: *Newcastle in the 1920s, featuring ‘The Great Northeast Coast Exhibition’ of 1929. * Armistice Day and Military Training in the late 1930s. * The Queen's visit to Tyneside in 1954, where large crowds crammed into the centre of Newcastle to see her open-car tour. * Evocative colour images that capture beautifully the atmosphere of the shipyards and the Tyne in the 1950s, including the construction and launch of the ‘Katsina Palm’, built at ‘Swan Hunter’ in 1957. * Colour '50s film illustrating student life with rare scenes of the city around that time. * The major redevelopment programme of the 1960s, where many of the slum areas were replaced by high-rise flats. * A day in the life of Newcastle in 1973, which takes a fascinating look at the city from six to midnight.
