Description: Shopping in Newcastle? Well surely there's not much to say about that. My sentiments exactly until I started writing this book! There's our market heritage to think about, local big brand successes, shopping rituals and all manner of shopping habits we don't even realise we have - the amount of times I've heard 'oh I don't have any memories of shopping.' only to be regaled a few moments later with heartfelt tales of first trips to Fenwick's Christmas window or how mothers sent their children to the 'steal works' with their divvy number. Shopping is such a part of the fabric of our lives we often don't realise the role it plays and how it has subtly changed over the years. As a small French man supposedly once said, the Brits are a 'nation of shopkeepers' and certainly as a nation we do love to shop. But did you know that Newcastle was the birthplace of some shopping practices we take for granted? Have you ever thought how many parts of the city are named after its markets? It may be such a part of our psyche we don't even realise that we Geordies are shopping addicts! So grab a cuppa (did the Rington's man deliver your teabags maybe?) put your feet up (don't tell me that's a Caller's sofa?!) and let me take you on a trip down memory lane.

  Waterstones Geordie Newcastle

  Price: £12.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Geordie Newcastle is a unique collection of evocative photographs from a golden age in Newcastle's past. The result of hours of research in Newcastle City Library's archive to restore photographs from the original glass plates which hadn't been touched for decades. From the end of the 19th Century to the 1950s, the pictures chosen offer us a glimpse into a world that some of us will remember with fondness and that helped shape what it means to be a Geordie today.

  Waterstones Newcastle in the Headlines

  Price: £15.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Newcastle in the Headlines tells the story of this great and vibrant city as seen through the stories and photographs from the renowned Chronicle, Journal and Sunday Sun newspapers. Author and journalist Dave Morton begins, aptly enough, with the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and the reaction this caused throughout Newcastle. We then travel through the decades, taking in the First and Second World Wars, the opening of iconic bridges, the rise and fall of the mighty Newcastle United, heart-rending local tragedies, visits from royalty and celebrities and Geordie television heroes. All of this and much more is vividly brought to life through a narrative and photographs that inspire nostalgia and a deep appreciation for this city and its history. Dave Morton perfectly encapsulates the essence of Newcastle and what has helped to create one of the most distinctive senses of community pride. This book highlights why Newcastle always was, and continues to be, a thriving town and the most culturally relevant city in the north-east.

  Waterstones Newcastle upon Tyne The Postcard Collection

  Price: £15.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Newcastle upon Tyne has long been an important city in the north-east of England. A fortress against Scotland, medieval Newcastle grew rich exporting coal, wool and other goods from its port on the River Tyne, as well as being a shipbuilding centre. New industries developed in later centuries and Newcastle's population grew, and by the eighteenth century the town walls and gates were demolished to allow further expansion and easy movement of trade into the city. At the same time the city gained its first newspaper, infirmary, bank, dispensary, assembly rooms and theatre and a new bridge was built across the Tyne. The centre of the city was rebuilt in 1825-40 and gradually amenities improved for the average inhabitant. In the 1920s and 1930s, the first council houses were built in Newcastle. The city suffered some damage during the Second World War but later decades have witnessed urban regeneration. In Newcastle upon Tyne: The Postcard Collection the author has drawn on a remarkable selection of old postcards to give a pictorial record of life in the city's rich past, from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1940s. Although some of historical Newcastle seen in these views has been lost, many landmarks have remained and will be familiar today. The postcards show the changes to Newcastle's fabric and its community adapting over the course of this period. This fascinating collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in Newcastle or know it well.
