Spookys Bridge near Luke’s lane was great for getting airborn in your GTi back in the day.

Raleigh Chopper GTi ?

I was going to post that it didn't do any favours to ageing cars that bridge.

The film Stormy Monday starring Sting had a car crash scene filmed on Spookys Bridge

Whatever happened to Dougies Tavern? That was an interesting place back in the day

Went in there a couple of times, I liked it

My pride and joy Peugeot 205 gti broke down just near the longship in 1987ish, so I pulled it into a residential street, bout 10 in morning on a school day, and made my way via metro / bus etc to my dads in seaham, him and I went through to tow it back. In total say 4 hours and I reckon it was about 3 actually. It proved v difficult to tow a car with no alloys, car radio cassette player (top make as well), no drivers window or heated rear window and a v bent steering wheel where someone had kindly tried to take my steering lock off for me. My dad and me went in the longship for a pint and to dry my eyes, where I was offered a top bollocks radio cassette and a talking heads tape for a knockdown price. Never been back since.

False economy of not joining AA/RAC, I hope you've learned your lesson.

I'm guessing in name only, not the dougies from 20 years back.

Probably, wouldn't know. Only ever went in there once or twice and can't imagine going in the latest effort

I was drinking in Jarrow/Hebburn tonight - how brave am I?

Sounds like the tables got a good hiding, based on the OP?

I think the tables were turned here.
Well deserved.

Spookys Bridge near Luke’s lane

Sorry to interject, but it was Spuggies Bridge. The spookies legend began after a 1973 sighting by a p.c. when he'd thought he'd hit a pedestrian he's seen but couldn't find any trace of a body. Ref: Colin Lawson book ^The Legend of Spuggies Bridge".

Are there many pubs left in that area still open?
