I can still remember the smell from when the bigger boys asked to borrow mine to knock on a door for trick or treat, put a banger inside it & exploded it all over the street! I hadn't even knocked on a door. My poor mother had to carve out three for me and my two brothers too

Today's sunrise at St. Alban's Church, Earsdon, North Tyneside. Designed by John and Benjamin Green, also responsible for the likes of The Theatre Royal, Grey's Monument (the column bit, anyway), Penshaw Monument, and many, many more...

Newcastle's beautiful High Level Bridge captured yesterday. It blows my mind to think what people would have thought of this when it opened in 1849.

Probably late Victorian or Edwardian Steve. Apparently the swing type bottle came into use in the 1890's. I found another similar one last week.

I get lots Steve and think I am near you. Lots of trees on the bridleway though at the back of the garden and round the playing fields.

Built in 1921: Constructed by apprentices at Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company in Jarrow. It made its final crossing on November 4, 1967—the same day the new Tyne Tunnel opened—before being towed away and scrapped at Dunston.
