Pandon Street

We stayed one night in Newcastle upon Tyne so we could go to the street that Gayle's great-grandparents lived according to an English census in 1850. It was nerve-racking driving through the city and trying to find it. It was about a mile and a half from the hotel but one-way streets and a lack of street signs made it difficult. We almost gave up after about a half hour but finally found it, almost by accident. It is all modern now. Here is a shot of the street sign and the street. It is all modern now but it was cool to be where some ancestors actually lived.  The second picture is approximately where the house used to be.
