Eldon Square in 1986 - every shop and cafe listed, see how many you remember
Summary by Ground News
It was 1986 and Eldon Square shopping centre had been up and running for 10 years. The sprawling complex had not only revolutionised shopping in Newcastle - but also transformed the physical make-up of the city centre. But 35 years ago, there was a powerful, new competitor across the River Tyne in Gateshead - the Metrocentre. The centre undertook an intensive campaign of advertising in the Evening Chronicle during 1986.
