Does anyone know if Hank's childhood home in Newcastle still exists? (Stanhope Street i think?).
I had a look on Google but turned up nothing, i know most of Newcastle was redeveloped around the 80's so it might have been knocked down?

I Googled "Stanhope Street Newcastle" and cam up with the map and street etc

Cheers

Geoff

Hi Geoff
Hope you are keeping well.
Yes - we took a drive past last year - just another block of flats. Very disappointing - but thats Progress.
Mind you, we did find that he'd set up a new business in Blyth,Northumberland, just down the road, in case his guitar playing didnt work out -

I guess it was pulled down, ah well.
I don't think any of 'old' Newcastle exists anymore, the city has had a massive redevelopment programme since the 80's, just watch 'Get Carter' and you'll see how much has changed!

Hank Marvin`s refreshments bar is located at Lowfields Business Park at Elland West Yorkshire near the A629 Elland Bypass and under the main Calder Valley Railway line

Maybe someone has an old photograph of the street...

Maybe there is a Facebook page of old Newcastle. There are a lot of groups on there based on the old days in different towns & cities and people post up old photographs so there could be a chance of finding some old pictures of Stanhope Street.
