Yeah it's a bit odd. Mackems would be absolutely fewming watching this mind you with Stokoe talking so openly about his love of playing for Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Not sure whether it's still in print but Milburn's autobiography is great if you can find it. Edited October 7, 2022 by NJS 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6292 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Related to the city rather than specifically the club but some background on the previous Tyne Bridge(s) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38581 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 2 hours ago, Craig said: Related to the city rather than specifically the club but some background on the previous Tyne Bridge(s) I’m sure I’ve posted this before, but the street High Bridge, which crosses Grey Street, is named after the bridge which crossed the Lort Burn there, before it was culverted and Grey Street was built. The Lort Burn still flows under Grey Street, and empties in to the Tyne just east of the Guildhall. ( Lort is Old English/Norse meaning “shit, rubbish” so the nicest street in the Uk is built on the Shit Burn). The High Bridge is still there, under the street, as it was just built in to the sewer/culvert rather than knocking it down. The large stone blocks at the top are the actual bridge, the smaller arch further back is part of the sewer construction. ( the white dot is obviously a ghost and the red blur is Derek Acorah shitting himself). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is worth a follow on Twitter. Interesting to learn the Luftwaffe once mistook Wylam Bridge for the Tyne Bridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
