In 1831 The Marquis of Londonderry  said of Gateshead "It is a mere suburb, a long, dirty lane, leading to Newcastle - a most filthy spot, containing the vilest class of Society."  ( He objected to Gateshead being represented in Parliament.) He wants his ears boxed

In 'English Journey' J.B. Priestley said of 1934 Gateshead: "If there is any town of like size on the continent of Europe that can show a similar lack of civic dignity and all the evidence of an urban civilization, I should like to know its name and quality. No true civilization could have produced such a town, which is nothing better than a huge dingy dormitory".  Well, what say you now John Boynton?
