Here we have 21 incredible photos of Newcastle in 1983 and 1984.
1984 was dominated by the Miners' Strike and life in the North East looked very different.
For the 1983-84 season, Newcastle United finished third in the Second Division and were automatically promoted to the First Division- Kevin Keegan was the club's top goal scorer with 28 goals.
In this collection we have photos of the infamous Tuxedo Princess and cinemas of the city's past.
Have a look and let us know what you remember about Newcastle forty years ago.
