I love this fantastically atmospheric photo of Newcastle 75 years ago
This photo is a fantastic reminder of how Newcastle has changed over the decades.
Seventy five years have passed since this scene was captured in Westgate Road near to its junction with St Nicholas' Street.
Oxo and the Royal Navy
It comes to us courtesy of Newcastle Libraries and is packed with details.
Have a look at the advertising posters on the building on the right, showing promotions for Oxo, the Royal Navy and many more.
A closer look shows the Parcels Depot which is on the left side of the road.
Cobbled roads and classic cars
Tramlines run through the middle of the photo, as well as cobbled roads, and look at the cars of the era.
Tell us if you think the scene has changed much. And why not share more of your own memories by getting in touch.
If you loved our look back in time, why not enjoy all these features which we shared with you - all courtesy of the fantastic archives at Newcastle Libraries.
Demolition scenes in a whole gallery of photos
Or maybe you remember the time when we shared a host of demolition scenes with you.
It included the Ord Arms, Haymarket pubs and John Dobson Street to Manor Station
