Could have fit one in Primrose somewhere maybe

Yep, just before Tynemouth Road. Which was the connection to the End of the World (Luke's Lane).
Thinking about it. can’t think of pubs around valley view, Hill park, Ellison way either ??

The Robin, but it was out of the way of York Ave and Bede Burn Road
Yeah just posted that. Same with hill park.
After the Robin Hoid was nothing for a good while.

There's none. If you lived in Primrose it was the Prince, the Robin or the Nelson. Or the 528 into the Town Centre
I was more a 532 or 527 man myself !!
The Prince could be classed as Primrose but some classed it as Calf Close

My mate lived on Hill Park, his Dar drank in what was a social club on low sima, sure it's a care home these days
Definitely Calfy
Used to be a good pub but I hate it now

Bars were opened where they would sell beer and hell they did along the river & near pits. Which explains where they are.

Calf Close, as I was brought up on Primrose we wouldn't want to tarnish our estate with such dross as the Prince
Yeah it is, but can’t remember from r life if he what it’s called. My nana lived around the corner so I should remember.

Is the Prince calf close ?? I always had the boundary as the old people’s home !

Primrose ends at Roman Road doesn't it?. It could be classed as no mans land mind

A194 was always the boundary as far as I was aware. Calf Close from the roundabout at the bottom of York Ave to the railway bridge near the greyhound....which then becomes Hedworth i.e., the land that time forgot
Yeah definitely, with the fly over taking you onto calf close. King George playing fields separating from low sima.
York avenue garage being the gateway to Luke’s land / hebburn !
Yeah maybe. The prince was always a trek to the Greyhound which was definitely more calf close.
Of course, me being from Hedworth would always maintain it was the more forward thinking of the Jarra Badlands estates !

Aye, my wife was brought up on Hedworth. Walking home to Primrose on an evening when we were kids could be a bit scary.
I learned to run and cycle fast very quickly
80s was pretty rough but thankfully the gentrification has made it a lot more tranquil these days
