Newcastle's own Hollywood unearthed in new exhibition

A far cry from the streets of Los Angeles, Newcastle's own Hollywood is the star of a new exhibition at the city's museum.

A Place Called Hollywood features objects unearthed from a Depression-era settlement near Jesmond, which provided shelter and safety for up to 30 families for three decades from the 1920s.
