Many years ago (c.25) there was a great curry house in Bigg Market run by a Mr Latif but I can't remember the name of the establishment. Ruth in Hambledon, Hampshire "The Cradle of Cricket"

The pub you are talking about in the Groat Market was the "Blackie Boy" which was right next door to the Chalk n Cheese Snooker Hall. Also the Blackie Boy was the first pub in the Toon to have Disco with the special lights. The Golden Tiger soon had a Disco too.

Thanks Geoff I'm going to have to look a that curve in the Crown Posada. That's fascinating. I have photos of my 18th birthday there but the curve is not in sight. George who used to play the harmonica is sitting next to me playing Happy Birthday though if you remember him. I had Sunday lunch with friends the other month in a very nice gastro style pub near the law courts and realised I was in the Baltic Tavern. This used to be a real Fagin's den of little rooms leading off each other along corridors if anyone remembers it. I remember my mother being convinced i was consorting with gangsters by entering the place and I promised I would never go again. the food was probably beter but I'm so pleased I experienced a pub like that while it still survived. The old Newcastle Arms was frequented by us because it had a pool table for the lads , Nancy Sinatra on the jukebox fro the lasses and those plate pies . When I was small I always used to think the Pineapple near the Monument looked impossibly glamorous as we walked to Marlborough Crescent for the bus. It looked from the outside like it had lots of booths and had windows all the way around which was as near as we got to a see a pub in the 60s and early 70s . We could sit on plank with a bag of crisps outside the Woodmans Arms in Whickham but not look inside. I was at a charity auction yesterday and one of the bids was a meal at the Northern Counties Private Club in Hood treet which i had never heard of. Apparently it is a private members club going back to 1826 and is beautiful inside with lots of history. ( Hpood street links Grey Street with Pilgrim Street Nancy) Newcastle's hidden buildings are brilliant. Debra --------------------------------------------------

The Golden Tiger was at the bottom of the Bigg Market, in the Groat Market I believe, and yes, I had a pint in there ONE night. That was enough.

My first real job in life was in the Crown Buildings (HM Inspector of Taxes) bottom of Pilgrim Street, just before the Tyne Bridge. This was also demolished a little later I think. Lunchtime was taken in the Post Office Buliding, Neville St, now also demolished. The walk was down the steps and across Side.

The Crown Posada is another of the old standards of Newcastle pubs. I'm glad to say it still survives - it still has that little "snug" just as you go in, and its stained glass windows featured in a book on the subject a couple of years or so ago. A place like that deserves to have something stronger than shandy consumed in it, however! It usually has a range of real- and non-local ales available, which adds to its interest. I'm always fascinated by the subtle curve of its long, thin, room. It's obviously built on a single burgage tenement, but why the curve? It may be because of the shape of the hillside behind it, leading up to the Castle, but it looks rather like the shape of a piece of rig-and-furrow in an old open field. If the latter, then its shape pre-dates any buildings ever being there and takes us back to the days before the arrival of the Normans, when The Side may have been a country lane, winding among the open fields of ..... where? Monkchester? Bede's Ad Murum? a village of unknown name surviving very nearby in the remains of Pons Aelius? I always find myself pondering this whenever I'm carrying a pint or few up the curved room from the bar, wondering whether I'm following in the footsteps of some Anglian ploughman, or just those of centuries of Newcastle drinkers. It's been years since I was in the (former) Newcastle Arms but I've been told that it's nothing like it was in our day! What's new? Geoff Nicholson

> Eleanor wrote: A few days ago I discovered an 1877 book online by the title of "The > Letters of the Late James Fawcus MD". What a wonderful resource. But alas this James is not "my" James, who I've now established was almost certainly the son of Francis b. abt 1808 in Newham near Eglingham and his wife Margaret Hay b abt 1811, Todlaw Moor NBL. Their only son James was born about 1837 in Heworth, Co. Durham according to various censuses, married in 1861 in Newcastle and was a guard on the NE railway in 1861. A distant cousin says she thinks James died in a railway accident. The 1871 Census shows Isabella his wife as Head of household and a general dealer in Pilgrim St Newcastle, which I understand is still one of the main shopping streets. My cousin theorises the railways may have given her some assistance. A James Fawcus died in Tynemouth in Dec 1871. I really will have to get his death certificate, it seems! Nancy in NZ

Nancy Pilgrim Street has the wonderful Alderman Fenwick'shouse which is well worth a visit on Heritage Open Days . Also the Firestation is there where many people will remember going as a child to see the large Christmas Nativity which I believe is still on and outside of which was the place to meet your date in the 70s and 80s. Swan House roundabout used to be grim but now has huge signage for Metro radio, 55 degrees North and the Newcastle Spa Retreat loudly broadcasting Pilgrim Street as the entrance to a modern city that even subreferences a TV programme. Even the Old Odeon is a treasure house inside . Carliol House at the top is as art deco as you could find although I'd like to know more of this era in the town. Across the road The newly refurbished Tyneside Cinema is our art house cinema of national reputation with a tea room that is far less busy than the cafes a hundred yards up the road on Northumberland Street. The ceiling in the Monkey bar is also worth a look although I can't remember what the real name of the Monkey Bar is these days.

One street missing from the various census but shown on the Godfrey maps is Riversdale Road. This is Robert Place and is confirmed in at least 1891 census by a large end terrace property listed as Robert Place/Sarah Street. As a kid at my grandparents in that area in early 50s the street was simply "the Banks" to youngsters playing around there but it had not seen a cobble or tarmac before the area was demolished around 1963/4. In parts you had a drop of several feet to the street from the pavement and from Askew Road to the railway bridge there was a deepening gouge making two banks up to the pavement on one side and the railway yards on the other. There is a Robert Street above St Cuthbert's Road nearby which, I imagine, might explain why only one version seems to have reached the maps but not why it persisted in the census.

Found the answer to my question Robert Place appears to be in the area of Sarah Street and Dorothy Street. Address search on the 1911 Census comes up with it listed and going to the ED description pin points the location. RG14PN30419 RG78PN1748A RD557 SD2 ED9 SN1 This ED is the group of streets between Redheugh Bridge Road, Askew Road and 'the road from Askew Road to the Tyne'. The 1894 OS maps shows all the streets listed but not Robert Place. Robert Place may be a group of houses shown on what is named in1894 as Riverside Road. Looks like this home was a step up from most they had been in. Robin
