I used to play in the old theatre, and there was a street sign there for years, but a car crashed into it and it never got replaced. steven slasorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706179355945647073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-13541762504907572442020-09-11T00:15:50.083+01:002020-09-11T00:15:50.083+01:00I'm 71 years old born Dibley street byker live...I'm 71 years old born Dibley street byker lived opposite bombed water tank, played on the waste ground my dad said it was blown up by German bombs trying to hit the railway line, excellent photos you've shown, shame no photos of my old street but I've got the memories.

I lived in the next street Salisbury Street and my father drank here. I have confirmed this with other old folk on the facebook group for pictures of Newcastle and the East End. Old directories confirm the address. Could you amend the label as soon we oldies will be gone with no one who knows the correct facts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440085374331216498noreply@blogger.com
