Fantastic photo archive

Newcastle upon Tyne have a photostream on Flickr, some great material for the area. Found one of the places my family lived in under construction in 1926.

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

You can try to search for Elswick, I have some of my tree there, but mainly I'm in Byker. My one criticism of it is there is no straightforward search function and the pictures have not been carefully titled so its easy to see what is what. I'm half way through simply looking at each page in turn!
