...and the fact that New Links tops Google for a search once again! Yay!
The search term? Byker Cully. Checking the other results reveals very little in the way of information on Byker Cully except for an explanation of what cully means and a mention in passing with good pictures of what the Ouseburn valley looks like now and as it did in 1961. Check that one out as it has lots of pictures of Byker including the ex-cinema-with-embedded-half-mini which has been replaced by a Morrisons store.
But there's certainly nothing as comprehensive as the New Links Offical Byker Culvert Tour Report which I guess makes us the world's premier source of Byker Cully info. Note to Commercial Manager: We'll be needing t-shirts. :)
Another interesting page caught my eye in the results - this one is about the Byker Wall, the world famous architectural landmark(?). Apparently it was one of the "first major attempts in Britain to create a dialogue between community and architecture". I remember groups of architecture students getting tours around the Wall years ago. There was even a documentary crew once that we showed around and scrounged tabs (Note to our non-native English speaking readers: tabs = fags... erm make that tabs = cigarettes!) off. I wonder if they still come and see it now?

Nice work fella! I read this last night, but there seemed to be a problem with the comments... tsk tsk! ;)
I think we are fast becoming the premier source of local information! Now, if we can start selling bottles of White Lightening and Special Brew from here we'll be billionaires! Mwahahaa!
*lightning (sic - sorry)
Re comments: I'm not going through that one again! :) And Lightening is probably correct as all these alky types look about 6 stone.
I think the really skinny ones are all crack heads, aren't they...??
