No Benwell or Scotswood pictures?....a few brunt out cars would add a touch of realism to the page
Yeh, I do have a few. I need a few more though so I'll need to make another trip up that way some time in the next few weeks.
They should be up here in the next few weeks.

Thanks, Sandyford has changed so much in recent years.
Do you have any old photos of Sandyford you'd like to share with us?
What about permission from the artists to paint over their work???? Shocking years on go discover this!
