First to those who lived there, thank you much for the information. i love to learn the history behind these songs. Thank god this thread has lasted as long as it has

Second, the other song, am i understanding that it is traditionally sang in the middle of Byker Hill? And tunes that are mention i think i am understanding is what the other song words are sung to?

the version i have is by the Cottars, it follows the original tune which i like better
