  Enjoying your pictures. I have never been to Newcastle, but think of your community often. I am 65 years of age.
  The reasons for my continual interest. My Father, Albert Rowley, was born in Gateshead in 1910, Came to US around 1921 through Ellis island. I hope to visit sometime. Thanks again for helping my imagination to see the sights my father knew so fondly.

  Thanks for saying hi Kenneth! If there’s anything you’d particularly like to see please let me know. I’m glad the site provides a connection with your family’s past.

  David I thought I’d said hi to you - maybe it was on your site. If I didn’t I’m very sorry! And thanks for dropping by and saying hi.

  Dear Beth,

  Recently my friend send me this photo blog, it is really nice to bring me back to Newcastle. I used to be there from 2002 until 2004 in Northumbri Uni. Now, we’re trying to organize Northumbria Uni Alumni Reunion Party in Shanghai 2008, date is Dec 20, 08. A very quicky - would you mind send me the video clip for St. John the Baptist Church? The reason why I want is to prepare a nice presentation with more Newcastle photos to show all alumni friends, trying to bring them back those unforgetable memory. Not sure if this allow from your side? We will not use it for any commercial purpose ONLY restricted in this alumni session. If you think that’s not proper, no worry. Anyway, nice to catch u up through this way. X’mas is around the corner, wish you have a special and wonderful one this year!

  Thanks a lot in advance.

  If this is possible, pls forward to this mailbox: 2008UNNPHOTO@gmail.com.

  Kind Regards, Cecilia

  Hi Cecelia, it was Cassandra who posted that vid. I’ve pointed her in the direction of this comment so hopefully she’ll be able to help.

  I’ll point people in the direction of this comment if you like in case anyone sees that might want to be involved?

  Sorry about the delay replying.

  yOU MENTIONED YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO CHECK OUT SOME SIGHTS.
  1. My father was an altar boy for the church of England. The church was in Gateshead. I do not know its name but I understand it has been changed into a gym.
  2. My father lived by a park by Sheriff’s Hill, in Gateshead named something like Sopwell park.
  3. There is a replica park in Blemish where a town was named Rowley.
  4. The Sopwell Park once had a bandstand which was moved to Blemish. It was the bandstand where my father played as a child.

  I do not know if these locations can be found today. Thanks for your assistance.

  Hi Kenneth - I’ll see what I can do! I think the park will be Saltwell Park - see here and here. And will 3 be Beamish?

  I’ll not be able to get any pics the next couple of weeks or so but will go over when I have a weekend free!
