'This is a real blast from the past' - 15 iconic scenes to show how Newcastle looked in the 1990s

A closing joke shop, developments in a railway tunnel and locals taking a walk in gardens - we have it all in these 15 views of 1990s Newcastle.

We took a trip back in time with the help of the Newcastle Photo Archive and came up with this fantastic set of nostalgic images.

Take a trip with us to Two Ball Lonnen, Hanover Gardens, the Westmoreland Road Joke Shop and Gloucester Road - plus many more scenes.
