Good parking half way down Westgate road, same place as it's always been, when they widened the road they left the car park alone. It's on Blandford Square.

Salt n Peppa? Aaaaaah push it....
Ta.Been a long time since I had the great north breakfast stotty.
I used to live at the top of that road Lancaster street off elswick road .Spent most Saturday 's watching H1's and H2's wheeling up it , even got my T 500 on the back wheel going up it .last time I was there was 2005 and there were a lot less bike shops .Armstrong engineering rebuilt most of our cranks .have fun
Well, that was a blast from the past.
Had a nice couple of hours wondering up and down, was good to see some of the old shops still going.
Had a good breakfast and really good coffee in the Italian cafe at the bottom of the hill.
Was very tempted by Salt and Pepper, was only the need for quality coffee that swayed the choice.
As said, lots of free bike parking outside the shops.
Finally a huge thumbs up for DP Leathers, great old school set up with great friendly service at a good price.
New zip and press studs done for only £30.
Thanks for all the replies and help.
