Anyhoo, Heaton Road is the area that I grew up in in the 70's and 80's and I attended the nearby North View School which has now been demolished. If anyone has any photos of the school that they would like to share with readers of this site please get in touch.

Cloughs sweet shop (Cloughies") was, and still is, the best sweet shop in Newcastle, or possibly the world. :) The shop itself has remained largely unchanged in my lifetime and the feelings of nostalgia can be as overpowering as the smell of hundreds of different types of sweets when I enter the doors today. If you've never paid a visit before now is the time!

Many thanks for these wonderful pictures of Heaton Road. I was brought up on Stannington Avenue and remember Cloughies and all the old shops. I went to North View School 1940 - 1946 before going to heaton High. Now reside in Misissauga, Ontario, Canada
Thanks again for the memories not only of Heaton but many of the surrounding areas and places
No problem at all :) You grew up 2 minutes from me but a quite few years earlier. You don't have any old photos of the school that you would like to share with us do you?
I'll try to remember to get a picture of Stannington Avenue for when I do my main Heaton post sometime soon.
Sorry I don't have any pictures of the old 'institution'. Going there during the war years, photographic equipment was limited. Only 'posh' people had cameras! Thanks in advance for Stannington Ave. I lived at # 5 from 1938 - 1959
All the best, canny lad!
No worries about not having any photos, it's always worth an ask or as we say shy bairns get nout!. :)
I'll be down that way soon so I'll grab a pic of number 5 for you
The ninth one down was the old Co-op and at the side just behind the car was the entrance for the horse and carts for the C0-0p
At picture 18 Heaton glaziers was a Fruit shop ,The black door,that was the first house I lived in and when you went down the back stairs you could help your self to the fruit.
I also went to North view school a little before your time
I remember Cloughies....
I almost had to turn sideways to get in through that thin door :)
Once again, great pics Steve.
Thanks :)
I have that same problem with the door these days!
Going through these pictures of Heaton I saw the comment from Epsonone. That door was number 121 Heaton Road and relatives of mine lived there in the 40s!!!! I visited often

It's certainly a small world.
