There was a lot of redevelopment, mainly connected with making the Coast Road into Newcastle dual carriageway. One of my favourites was the Grape Vaults, the men-only pub just off Grey Street. It had to close in 1976 after the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act because it was too small to accommodate ladies' toilets. The Farmer's Arms was right in the Haymarket bus station, so it was usually the first and last port of call during a night on the Town.
