Hello and welcome to my photographs of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England and surrounding areas. Mostly I like to document our historic buildings and the ever increasing pace of change here in Newcastle but there are also many photos of our iconic bridges, parks, statues, murals, graffiti and pretty much whatever I find interesting.
All the photos taken from 2005 to 2017 on this site were taken with a cheap point and shoot camera, and from around 2016 the photos are a mix of a DSLR camera and various phone cameras.
Most pages on this site are updated with new photos sporadically, which are usually shown newest first.
The best way to browse this site is each of the following 5 areas, Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tyneside, Gateshead and Durham and South Tyneside, have their own page with a list of links to all of my photos taken in that area and an interactive map.
As well as all of the above you can also join me on my Walking the River Tyne Westwards Project, view My Urban Exploration Photos and see Old Photos of Newcastle.
Please get in touch if you have any old photos of the area that you would like to share with the readers of this site or if there is a part of Newcastle you would like to see featured here in the future. Contact me here.

Nice photos. Well ... how could Newcastle lose against AZ? I had hopes to visit your city with Benfica to Uefa Cup... but the club of your city miss that meeting. May be I visit it someday anyway. Best regards
ReplyDeletei found your blog through Digital Photography School ... you take these with a point and shoot?? You have to be kidding me!! These are stunning, what point and shoot do you use??
ReplyDeleteLIke your photos, I saw the big winged statue from a distance in my last travels there. Years ago I met a Newcastle friend while travelling in the mid-East--she went to India by herself when few women dared to do it alone! Sorry, can't remember her name. We had a lot of fun running around London and going to pubs when we came back.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
ReplyDeleteAye the Angel is quite unmissable so to speak if you are heading into Newcastle from the south. I'm still not sure if I really like it or not!
There is saying around these parts that where ever you go you will always find a Geordie. Maybe it just seems that way due to our accents and loud mouths. ;)
you do have some very nice pictures on here. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to mention the camera thing til I saw someone else already had...I suppose it's the photographer not the camera you have to credit :-)
ReplyDeleteIs it always so bright and sunny there?
Poor camera, no wonder it went into early retirement!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll take over your blog someday :-)
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful and I really enjoyed seeing all the different places. I've never traveled overseas so it's a treat to be able to see so much of the area (probably more than a tourist would be able to see in one visit!) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI must say that this is the very best blog I've ever visited!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!

ReplyDeleteThank you for all the memories of the places I grew up in and still treasure even after 40 years in Canada
ReplyDeleteMuriel ex North View-ite also!
Your welcome. I reckon around half to three-quarters of the visitors here are ex-pats. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy youe photos immensely. I lived at 136 Newton Rd during the war. Went to Heaton Secondary School. Primary school was St. Teresa's and worked for a while in later years at Stannington Mental Hospital. Is Janet (nee) Wylie still alive?
ReplyDeleteAngus, Canada.
I lived on benton rd for a while, just down from newton rd.. My children went to st. Teresas school, and i worked at the stannington mental hospital when it was demolished and hiuses built there,.. But i dont know a janet wylie.
DeleteThanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone with the name Wylie I'm afraid.
Your pics are getting better and better. Keep gannin`
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog, its fab! My husband and I are both Geordies (although we moved away from Newcastle 5 years ago), there have been alot of changes and I dont recognise some of the places (where has the city library gone??)We both grew up in Heaton, I went to Chilly Road school and Manor Park (thats gone too). At least Cloughs is still there. I used to climb up on the chair to pick the penny sweets in the days when old Mrs Clough was behind the counter. 30 years on and her son still recognises me.....Keep doing what you are doing its a brilliant site! X
ReplyDeletePlease keep taking more photos of Newcastle.

ReplyDeleteGreat site. Sorry for not crediting your photo on our site. We've remedied that and included you in our links. Strange question, I know, but do you have any shots of the roof of the Co-op? I saw some years ago, taken from the car park opposite with a zoom and it looked stunning. Now, God knows what'll happen to it...
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteI probably have some shots of it somewhere. I'll try and find the time to have a look through my photos this weekend.
Great. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have been spending some time looking round your site, I really appreciate what you are doing, I love these sorts of photos and they are very well constructed.
ReplyDeleteHave just become a follower.

Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your recent health problems. Hope your finger is healed soon. Thought you would like to know I uploaded some Arthur's Hill and Leazes Park photos recently.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Herbwormwood.
Hi.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any old photos of Greenhow terrace. I know its demolished. I think in the 60 's or 70's.
My mother and her family lived in number 80 in 1919.
Do you know, which was the nearness school, they could have attended?
Hope you can help. Or send me on to someone, who can. I'm re writing my family history.
The name of my family living there, was Sheppard. I still have a lot of cousins in Newcastle, whom I'm trying to find.
I live in Denmark, as my mother married a Danish seaman, my father, in 1945 in Newcastle.
My mum worked at vickers Armstrong during ww2. So did my grandfather.
Yours sincerly

ReplyDeleteHello, I'm looking for a photo of peters snack bar from the 80's which was situated at Marlborough crescent please contact me if you can help.
ReplyDeleteThanks
A fantastic body of work, which in years ahead will be important for the history of our city.
ReplyDeleteVery much in the mould of Jimmy Forsyth, and he didnt have a proper camera either.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your kind words.
