I lived at no 6, slightly further down as the grass on the immediate left would've been a plantation then my house. I loved Scotswood, grew up there going to Denton Rd School. Used to love the sportsy in the summer holidays, the bands going along Woodstock then parading at Scotswood Sports Centre. Swimming baths on a Saturday morning being 10p a session. Used to have movie days at 'The Hut' which was right next to the Dene. Always remember Ali's shop on the corner of Woodstock and a yellow electric board van a few doors away and a really old car with a spare wheel on the back we always thought it was a Transformer because of the massive wheel arches and the long bonnet that opened from the sides. Loved my Scotswood days, great memories and lots of happiness!

Since they pulled down all the houses in that street i have never ever felt part of another community like i did back then. Everybody knew one and other and got along, neighbours were propper neighbours. You could depend on any single one of them if you ever needed to. Shame i cant say the same for any other street ive ever lived in since. Im now grown up with a child of my own and cant express how much i would love to bring up my boy in an enviroment with such a sense of community and good spirit. Sad thing is, i know that is most probably never going to happen. People just arent like they used to be. Sad but true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-7777004392069909002011-03-30T19:50:35.680+01:002011-03-30T19:50:35.680+01:00What a shame that a place with such a rich industr...What a shame that a place with such a rich industrial heritage, but with the feel of a village, has ended up like this.

I returned 'home' to go to university and spent a year living at 638 Armstrong road - long gone due to an arson attack- the photos bring it all back. We loved our year in Scotswood. The Sporting Arms was our local and we never had any bother. In fact everyone looked out for you. Hard times followed after the loss of yet more heavy industry in the 1980s and the place became a no-go area. I has shocked when I went back in 1992 and it looks worse today. I was never brave enough to have a drink in the Bobby Shafto - had a reputation as a pub full of bone heads! Great pictures and great memories of all who made us so welcome.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-44743680502554885322010-11-14T11:59:07.360+00:002010-11-14T11:59:07.360+00:00Thanks.
