Don't think you've quite grasped the video!Empty Newcastle my arse. Just popped into M&S and it's chuffing heaving. Now standing in a massive queue in Fenwick's for the loo!
Too busy looking for somewhere to have a piss.Don't think you've quite grasped the video!
50% of the people in M&S at any one time are a) grabbing their lunch, b) waiting for their bus. not much spending going on there.Empty Newcastle my arse. Just popped into M&S and it's chuffing heaving. Now standing in a massive queue in Fenwick's for the loo!
M&S moved to Cribbs Causeway I am guessing?Happening everywhere. Bristol has lost M&S and Debenhams in quick succession. Coming in to city centre from the north the first thing you see is a boarded up department store. Depressing
M and s have contributed massively to the running down of town centresM&S moved to Cribbs Causeway I am guessing?
exactly....they knocked doon the Farmers Rest to make way for these feckersM and s have contributed massively to the running down of town centres
Agreed kieron BradyI’m a bit cynical regarding the veracity of the entirety of what that video purports to display
Yeah im not sure if it was already there in the first place thoughM&S moved to Cribbs Causeway I am guessing?
Aye I was there 85/86 it was a shithole down and across from college.I went to newcastle college from 92-94 and that whole end of the city back then was a complete slum. The walk from the college up past the broken doll, that way on was just full of alkis and people off their nut. Its 1000% better nowadays than it was back then
Think it closed and reopened a few times. Used to go their as kids. Always had a keycode to get into the toilets to keep the smackheads out. Shame it closed though.Has anyone mentioned the Bowling alley on Westgate Road? The old Brighton Electric Theatre. I bought a very rare souvenir mug ages ago of Queen Mary and George V (so it is dated probably 1910) and below it is the words "Souvenir from", below that "Brighton Electric Theatre" and below that "Newcastle On Tyne". Whenever I come back from weekly car boot fair in Corbridge in the summer months I look out for the theatre on my way back home and I despair of the state of this old building. Indictive of how empty and dilapidated some interesting parts of the city along that area is. All along that section of Westgate Road as you East and down toward the Redheugh Bridge is just empty now. Dead.
