The Talk of the Wash House Within the Wall

    • Documentary

Anne and Olya grew up in Byker before the Byker Wall was built. In this episode, they remember the wash house, the smells of the butcher shop and Byker's first takeaway.
They also chat about what it was like when families were re-located in the 1960s, most of them never to return, and how much things have changed since then.
Within the Wall is produced by James Whitman as part of a community arts residency at Northern Stage.
