How bout Cherry Knowles Hospital in Sunderland? The new security fence will spoil the photos unfortunately. Before that you could have got some decent shots if you were willing to drive across a canny bit of grass. |

Just read this - BENWELL ! Are you effing mad ! Not being a snob or owt but my sis lives there and I don`t visit her that often. Usually swarms of tracksuit clad youngsters on bikes just looking for an opportunity to nick something. Most roads from the main thoroughfare are covered in glass and debris. I kid you not.
I do like the idea of a quick visit to get some pix but we need to go en-mass.
Reminds me of when I worked on Sherburn Road Estate. I took my kids there once as I needed to pop into the section office. My eldest lad said "dad can you remember seeing that place near Isreal that all the fighting was taking place. Well it looks like here." Out of the mouths of small children etc.
Had a meal in the Fiddlers a couple of weeks ago. Good nosh and a decent pub.

Bonus. Benwell hendon, ryhope... how about we all meet up on the westline industrial estate and then have a quick tour through birtley and the barley mow? Better still, How about following the old durham road through deckham and into gateshead? Chevazon - Qwerty is from consett. thats probably why benwell looks nice. Lots of parking in moorside at the moment I notice |

All these places don't mean anything to me. However Qwerty's pics make me want to go there - that said I don't want anything to happen to my car or me. But organise some sort of convoy thingy and I'll be sure to pop along.  |

SOC - Westline ! I don`t think the suspension on any of our cars will be able to take the pot holes. The only way down is in a traveller van.
Speaking of Old Durham Road I just noticed that one of my old haunts "The Globe" was closed along with most of the pubs in the area.

You know, that's spookily close to where Frank Street was.. the half-demolished terrace used for the wake/hearse shots at the beginning of Get Carter. Just need to fix your cortina, we can do Get Qwerty..... lmao |
