This is only a poor photocopy. I've been trying to trace down the original photo from a cousin's family in Wolverhampton.

Robert Miller, now living in Devon, sent me this photo of 1308 Walker Road. He was born there in 1941 and lived there with his family. This photo is of his grandmother standing in the doorway.
© Robert MillerMuriel Latour, an ex-pat Geordie, now living in Canada kindly sent these photos of her family that lived in the Spital Tongues area.
Muriel says My grandfather(Tot) had a house on Dunn's Terrace with a byres and farm yard with about 12 or so cows directly across on the other side of the road. It was a dairy farm and he used to graze his cows on the moor and bring them for milking (by hand) up Hunters Road! The dairy was called Stephenson Bros Dairy.
The oldest photos taken, I would guess, date from around 1886 - 1888, as my grandfather is in them as a young boy and he was born in 1876.
The other two are of him and his brother Joe, with one of the dairy cows and one of Joe with the horse and trap that was used to deliver the milk.

Taken in about 1915. It is of The Globe public House, Railway Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne. My great grandfather Anthony Malia stands on the left with his white apron on. He managed the pub for a while and he and his family lived there until he died in his forties, not long after this photo was taken. He was also a singer in his spare time and performed at the theatre in Newcastle, one of his sons Robert Malia also sang and performed and later became the choir master at St Dominics RC Church, Byker. He was there for some time.

A close up of Anthony Malia (centre) my great grandfather who managed The Globe, Railway Street, this was taken outside the pub itself

Taken around 1917 this is a photo of Margaret Malia, my grandmother, it was taken just after her father died Anthony Malia(see photo above). The family had to move house and she had to seek work elsewhere. It is in Newcastle, we don't know which pub though, just that it is one of John Reeds. She is second from right.

This is my great grandfathers butchers shop Applebys, at Arthurs Hill, Newcastle. He is in the middle of the picture with a beard. I would love to know who the other people standing next to my great grandfather are, they look like characters.

This is my grandad. Joseph Rutherford, he was a printer in the Chronicle. this was taken nearby.

Another photo of my grandad Joseph Rutherford with my dad Joseph Rutherford junior. It is in Newcastle but can't make out where.
The name of the hotel over the road is the Hotel Esplanade if anyone can help out with the location. My best guess is the coast somewhere but it's just a guess. A reader added it may be Whitley Bay.

I would like to contact Muriel Latour regarding photo's of Stephenson family from Spital Tongues.
My family are also called Stephenson and lived in Spital Tongues around this time - I would be interested to see if there is a connection.
Thanks.
My e-mail - telit@telus.net
Thanks, I've passed the information on to an email address I had belonging to Muriel.
For Janette Perry, The Esplanade Hotel .... it may well be Whitley Bay.
Thanks.
For Janette Perry. I live in Oregon USA but I was in St. Dominic's Choir in the 1960s I have couple of pictures of your uncle Bob Malia. My email is jmsmith730@comcast.net
I too would like to contact Muriel Latour. I was born in Spital Tongues in 1947, my parents then living with my grandmother Isabella Fenwick at No.9 Claremont Road. My great grandmother (Polly Littlefair) had previously rented this property but swapped with my grandmother when her family grew. She previously lived in Morpeth Street. I too can remember my mother and grandmother talking about a Mrs Stephenson.
Many thanks.

my father Ronald Stephenson and aunt Sheila Stephenson. Grandfather John Stephenson ,nana Martha Stephenson lived at fountain row spital tongues in the 1940s onwards. My great uncle David Stephenson and the Stephensons lived at Windmill Spital tongues. My great grandfather Stephenson had a kipper cart from spital tongues and also my great uncle Charlie Stephenson lived there too. I wonder if they are all from the same family as the other Stephensons mentioned.Also a Peggy Stephenson comes to mind and a Mark. Hope this is of any help
Thanks.
Would you like me to pass this information along to Muriel?
If so please leave an email address that I can pass on.

Dianne Gibson
Researching my family history and saw your name and photo's wondered if we were related? My great grandfather john henry gibson was born in newcastle 1859 to london in 1880's.

The double photo of Grandfather Joseph Rutherford was probably taken by a promenade photographer between the wars. It is Whitley Bay and in the background is the Esplanade Hotel (Esplanade is the name of the street which is a continuation of Station Road) also behind them is the Gaumont cinema (later a dance hall: The Aletsa) they are approaching the Rex Hotel (on their left... sea on the right)
Hope that helps
