EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Gateshead in 1965. The image captures the vibrant intersection where High Street meets Old Durham Road and Belle Vue Terrace, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this thriving community. Standing proudly in the center is The Argyle pub, its inviting facade beckoning locals and visitors alike for a pint or two. Its presence serves as a testament to the importance of public houses as social hubs during this era. To the right of our frame stands The Ritz picture house, an iconic cinema that undoubtedly provided countless hours of entertainment and escapism for residents. With its grand marquee and glowing lights, it exudes an air of excitement and anticipation. The street itself is alive with activity - pedestrians strolling along the pavements, cars navigating through traffic, and shopfronts adorned with colorful signs vying for attention. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the charm and energy that characterized Gateshead's high street during this period. As we gaze upon this nostalgic scene frozen in time by NCJ's lens, we are transported back to an era when cinemas were cherished gathering places and local pubs served as meeting points for friends old and new. It reminds us of simpler times when communities thrived on face-to-face interactions on these very streets – a reminder worth cherishing amidst today's fast-paced digital world.
