262,000 DWT Tanker Tyne Pride, 1975
This photo was taken from where, almost 2,000 years ago, the Roman fort of Segedunum stood.
Hadian's Wall ended beneath the bow of the tanker, hence the name "Wallsend".

The shot below was taken at the same time as that above, I like it because it puts the emphasis on the street rather than the ship




Identity theft, impersonation and abuse

Over the past few months I have been subject to identity theft, impersonation on internet, threatening and offensive, abusive emails. The guy doing this has set up webpages supposedly set up by me, to sell or give away my copyright photos, and/or have been abusive. He uses email addresses that incorporate my name.

The person is a 68 year guy who regards himself as an artist, who lived in Newcastle. He now hangs around Chang Mai, Thailand. I shall not give you his name, or show you his photograph but I have considerable details on this guy. I have never met this guy and had no involvement with him until he took an personal dislike to me several months ago. Other people have had similar experiences with this guy, you can find out more from this blog at,

In the past he has tried to involve another photographer and now threatens to contact musicians from the North East in order to embarrass me. I apologise for any confusion, embarrassment and irritation he might cause you.

The End of an Era
250,000 DWT Tanker Everett F. Wells, 1976
This was the last super-tanker built on the Tyne.
The shop is boarded up, no kids play in the street, there are no parked cars.
Shortly afterwards the houses were demolished.
