One of the most popular features of ChronicleLive's Nostalgia coverage are the regular film clips supplied by the North East Film Archive.
Over recent years we've published much fantastic footage from the Archive, film that takes us back in time and enables us to see the people and places of the region as they once were in a way that photographs simply cannot do. Some of our latest offerings include clips of Newcastle city centre in 1970 and the legendary La Dolce Vita nightclub and fascinating footage of the River Tyne at Gateshead and Newcastle in the mid 1960s.
One question that is often asked is 'can the work of the Archive be viewed in DVD format?' The answer is 'yes'. The North East Film Archive has a DVD called Newcastle On Film - and it would make an ideal Christmas gift. It presents the story of our city, and the wider region, as captured on film over the last 100 years and is narrated by former Tyne Tees news presenter Pam Royle.
