Thanks for the photos.
Looks like it's all change .. all stay the same. Lots of different names on the shops, but still a chemist in the chemist-shop, still a garage where there always was a garage. Good to see there's still the funny little one-way system by the shops, and everyone parking wherever they can. Especially good to see Benton Road's not a 4-lane superhighwaybypassmotorwaylink ...!
Despite all the change in Newcastle of late the suburbs pretty much stay the same, mostly. It is now usually a very, very busy junction but I caught it at a quiet time when I visted. It won't be long before they turn it into a super highway thingymajig.
Good to see it still has a Greggs (not unusual for any street in Newcastle) as that is what sent me up that way on a cold winter morning when my son was at his football training on the site of the old Manor park school.
