It's called 'sports day'. Think it's still there, I quite like it.
FULWELL MATE.SMELLS TOO
WHERES THAT
I traveled through just to see it intact and then being demolished before a piece of cinematic local history was gone forever. That restaurant never even opened despite being completed due to concerns over it's structural integrity.
FULWELL HIGH STREET IT'S NEVER EVER BEEN CALLED THATFULWELL MATE.
Sea Road.FULWELL HIGH STREET IT'S NEVER EVER BEEN CALLED THAT
DO YOU MEAN SEA ROAD OR FULWELL ROAD
It's better than it was before but the parking charges seem to have killed it. Footfall seems lower since the charges started and easier to find a space to park now. Most of the shops there have a branch at Team Valley with ample free parking, or the Galleries is just a few minutes further. I think people with cars must be going elsewhere.
There's always people standing in the middle with clipboards/ipads trying to sell you gas and electric or charities or Avon or whatever as well.
Team Valley has perhaps the worst parking set up in the country. I hate that place
Was passing through there yesterday. People on here moan about Sunderland City Centre and empty shop units or excess charity shops, but I haven't quite seen anything like there.
Wedged between the pull of the Metro Centre and Newcastle, Gateshead's town centre literally has no purpose at all. For all they have jumped on the "Newcastle-Gateshead" bandwagon, allowing their own quayside to get passed off as Newcastle anyway... they've gained absolutely nothing from such integration by their own redundancy.
For all the negative things people have to say about Sunderland, we continue to fight for our own identity and purpose as a city. Whilst the influence of Newcastle is a challenge to the city's development, I don't believe we have to be fatalistically subordinate to them forever.
Salford to Manchester?Can't think of many, maybe West Bromwich?
Not as close but I bet Bury, Oldham and Rochdale suffer being so close to Manchester. Birkenhead also is close to Liverpool
Councils are their own worst enemies at times like. For a town with little footfall to start with, they have not helped with the tescos car park rule change and bus lanes all over.was useful to pop into the bank, tesco woollies, kwik save and the coop on the way home.
Park on main street but the council have knacked it with bus lanes no entries and limited parking with parking vultures hovering
so no sympathy from me
They only spent £150 million on it,Councils are their own worst enemies at times like. For a town with little footfall to start with, they have not helped with the tescos car park rule change and bus lanes all over.
The biggest and the best store as the jingle went. Was it Freddie's place?Shepherds of Gateshead
You could have walked there from Newcastle. Or taken a bus. Or taken the Metro which is 200m from the High Street.Can't see how that would've worked transport wise.
FULWELL MATE.
And then waste £millions trying to save them , dickheads .Councils are pretty determiend to kill off town centres to be honest
It's why the Metro doesn't go to the Metro Centre.Newcastle City Council wouldn't allowed it, as it could of potentially killed off Eldon Square. I agree with you though.
