Help us with a new book on the 1970s!
It's My Life: 1960s Newcastle has proved a great success. Many people generously contributed wonderful memories and photographs which supplemented the images in Newcastle Libraries' collections. You all enjoyed it so much that there have been requests for a book on the 1970s, so we need your help again!!
If you'd like to be part of the new book, and you lived, worked or played in Newcastle 1970-1979 please send your recollections to tynebridge@newcastle.gov.uk . As many contributions as you like (preferably no more than 500 words each), and photos of those embarrasing loons, kipper ties and tank tops would be MOST welcome!
