A friend of mine, John Fox, found some negatives amongst a relatives collection taken in Newcastle city centre in 1972 and 1973. John scanned the negatives and kindly allowed me to use the photos on this website. I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about the photos but I can spot where most of them were taken.
