Life on 'Bread Street' where people knock to ask if you are selling up

The ECHO has taken a look at life on the Dingle's Elswick Street, immortalised in 1980s sitcom Bread as the home of a close-knit working class community.

Carla Lane's popular sitcom aired on the BBC from 1986 to 1991 and centred on the Boswell family. Almost four decades on from the first episode of Bread hitting screens across the country, community spirit is at an all time high, driven by once in a generation challenges such as a global pandemic and the current cost of living crisis.

The Victorian terraces on Elswick Street are now populated by a wide demographic of people; doctors, teachers, company directors, NHS workers, young families and retirees, and are in high demand.
