I'm visiting a piece of celluloid history on Saturday!
The 'Get Carter' car park in Gateshead is finally being demolished in a few weeks and for the first time in years it is being opened to the public at the weekend so they can savour the great views and soak up a bit of classic Brit cinema.
I won't be throwing anyone of the top though...
Pics to follow

Funky stuff GT, would love to see the pics. Excellent.   Real shame it's being demolished though, how about the end scene by the beach, with those things dumping stuff into the sea, you going to go there too? |

I think that was filmed on Teeside or County Durham which is a bit further than I can be bothered to go on Saturday ;D It is a shame it's being demolished in my opinion, it's an integral part of the Gateshead skyline as I see it but that area is undergoing so much regeneration these days it's hardly a surprise. |

Still the greatest British film ever made! Have you ever been down to the stretch of beach where the finale takes place? |

No I've never been Trav, it's not actually that near Newcastle funnily enough, I think it's between Sunderland and Hartlepool where all the coal mining took place

Just picked the snaps up, they're very good - some of me and my mate recreating the 'fight' scene too lol. Surprised we didn't get arrested...
Have to wait a while to put them up as they're on a disposable
