I found 9 views of Newcastle streets which were demolished during slum clearances

They were all part of the Newcastle skyline in the past.

But all of these houses were reduced to rubble during demolition programmes in the city’s history.

We have reminders of Westmorland Street, Lawson Street and Glue House Lane. All of the photos come to use courtesy of the excellent Newcastle Photo Archive and we thank them for some wonderful memories.

In case you missed it;
