Regular visitor to the Tyne as well.

Used to berth at the Norway Shed just below the Ouseburn.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY!

Then, as it is again today (2017), August Bank Holiday Monday, 28 August.
Time for my more or less annual Tyne river trip.

Newcastle Quay - 28 August 1967:

Ron, for your records, Stormont is at Gateshead's Hillgate Quay. Remember now?

Ron,

I just knew there must be a sensible answer to my puzzlement (see: viewtopic.php?f=99&t=5982)!
Must admit I still don't remember the layout, but presumably that is St. Mary's church in the STORMONT background, and you pointing out that the STORMONT and CYPRIAN COAST were on the Gateshead bank makes everything clearer!
Thanks, again.
