Royal Quays...(Albert Edward Dock)

[TOMMY NEPTUNE]

These may be of interest to Norman and his crew, and Richie..in fact anyone who uses Royal quays marina, its amazing to see how the area has been re-developed over the years,

River Tyne to the right, notice the steam train to the front of the picture.(circa 1937)

A couple of ariel pics.

And a couple of postcards.

Just a small area involved in the making Tynes history, the river is a fascinating place.

Re. the first picture (circa 1937). We used to fish the wharf where the cranes 'run', in the 60's/early 70's, it was an excellent mark until sumbugga decided to have a dump in the crane cabin.

That was the end of fishing on that quay.

Cheors,
