Great stuff, 20mph plate on the back, & the Newcastle reg 1934, From one of the brewery,s in the toon, Keep them coming Oily, Regards Larry.I’ve got to ask, as a youngster
how do you read the old number plates? I mean this one reads PBB971 and you knew it was 1934… how does it work?
Have a closer look at this Newcastle Reg, Its BBB, Not PBB, IMO, Regards Larry.

The reason Im saying this is because PBB Was a 1950ish No, Regards Larry.

Well I have a thing about reg.nos, But I also have book that lists where the Nos were allocated to when Reg Nos, were first introduced in 1903 ?,Hi Larry
My grandfathers first motor vehicle was 1920 Ford model T and quoted reg no J9629 J being orriginal reg for Durham County, before PT and UP were allocated. From my thoughts I suspected it perhaps had been JJ9629 but he always maintained J9629. What does your book say?
Carl
Hi Carl, Defo a Durham No. J 1 Dec 1903 J 9999, up to 1922, Then PT numbers started , Then APT IN 1934 & So on, Regards Larry.
Hi Larry,
Thank you. I always thought he was confused as I always thought J reg was Jersey. and dad was no help, as the wagon was older than him and he was too young to remember.
carl
Well J used to be for Jersey but only on a round plate , Like our GB Plates Etc, Regards Larry.
Larry, are you sure about J not being Jersey? There are an awful lot of J ---- registered cars on the island, as there are G for Guernsey.And if I remember correctly, Bergerac’s Triumph was J -----.
Oh, the memories of Bergerac’s TR. I had one, back in my mis-spent youth.

Well according to my book reference J Was A Durham Reg, 1903/1922 As G Was a Glasgow Reg In those earley days, I would seem to me that Jersey didn’t have regs that far back, There is an old Albion flat wagon at Newbrough belong to a local haulier there and It is J//// ?, If I see him I will ask him as It was originally owned by a relation of his, Regards Larry.
Larry, here’s a couple I took from the top of the Baltic. I paid my first visit there, found it a bit different to my idea of art!!! I’m not saying I won’t go back, but I think my pictures are easier to interpret. Regards Kev.
Great photos Kev, Im not a fan of the Baltic, I spent many cold days in there when it was Ranks, Regards Larry.
Must be full of sad geordies after todays result 0 3 again
some happy geordies Gateshead won against Kidderminster

I have done a research on Jersey Regs, Theirs started about 1915 With the J of course, But it states that J was a Durham Reg 1903/22, Regards Larry.
It was a lovely day yesterday so I had a ride down the river on my new bike. Into the wind on the way back, I did regret it a bit!! 
Here’s a few of the pics. Regards Kev.
Here’s a few I took many years ago when they were removing the old Redheugh bridge and one taken the same day looking up river towards Scotswood bridge. regards prattman.

Well Larry, my gradfather’s was J9629 a 1920 Ford Model T with solid wheels and registered in Durham. I surpose they would never worry in those days whether or not there was any duplication between Durham and Jersey as there would be no chance of a Durham registered vehicle being in Jersey or a Jersey reg vehicle in Durham for that matter

Here’s a few I took many years ago when they were removing the old Redheugh bridge and one taken the same day looking up river towards Scotswood bridge. regards prattman.
I used that bridge in the sixties and seventies, it was bloody narrow!!! The toll house ( from an even earlier era) is still there sitting right on the river with a sheer drop to the river below it. Regards Kev.
I Kev i was wavin to you but yah never waved back 3rd door along on the fish key like -
New pedal bike then kev how many gears or has it a twin splitter fitted bet yah sounded like a old ■■■■■■■ by the time you got back all

Sorry Brian, didn’t realise it was you waving, I thought it was the fishermen trying out a new bait to attract the monsters from the deep!!! 
The new bike has 27gears and I needed quite a lot of them on the way home The analagy of sounding like an old ■■■■■■■ is about right, but its better than sounding like an eightcylinder boat anchor !!! Regards Kev. PS. here’s a few more from Tuesday.
it could have been me not. anyhoowww just for you Kevin. - .
