Some Kenton Bar Pictures – From Newcastle Library Archives

Whilst the rest of us were strumming ourselves Monsieur Mensforth has been busy doing my bidding. I dispatched him down to library and he looked through their archives. he found the grand sum of two photos of Kenton bar:-

This is a view of Kenton Bar from Kenton lane looking down towards the top of Ryal Walk (does anyone know where the street names came from on Kenton Bar?). Just to the right of the lamppost you can see one of the legendary maps!!!. And – next the THIRD picture of the Kenton bar Pyramid on the web – see it here first…… If you click on this image you will be able to see the full size version. Just to the right of the lone tree you can see the top of the pyramid peaking over the rooftops. 

This next image is from the brochure used to promote Kenton Bar as the place to live (I presume by the developer?) It shows a lady in a sheepskin coat whilst some kids gambol in the background. The reality is that the place she is depicted as standing in would have been covered by another small 3-storey block of flats
