One of my all-time favourites. The well-overdue demolition of part of the set for the film ‘Get Carter’. This brutalistic monstrosity was foisted on the folks of Gateshead by the then ‘Labour Council’, along with all of the shit apartments and flats they commissioned, which met with a similar fate a few years later. The stink of corruption was almost tangible.

Known locally as ‘The Chocolate Policeman’, in Seaton Sluice, was in fact, a very pleasant venue. Good beer, good food, and friendly, helpful staff.

Finally and at last, I know where my stolen ‘fridge is. Now, where did I put that telephone number for the Inter-Galactic Police Station?

Beauty and the Beast of all sound systems.

I call this one ‘Arches’ – from the Newcastle/Gateshead walk with Phil and Linda in 2012.
