Killingworth Hippos

A bloat of concrete hippos in Killingworth Newcastle upon Tyne.

@Dheano @NCL_Guide @ToonLibraries @My_Metro So after further forensic analysis, its not Bank Foot but Wansbeck Road, the station pillars line up and the same mark on the concrete base is still in place.

@NCL_Guide @ToonLibraries @My_Metro The train displaying Haymarket suggests its Pre November 1981 when trains operated between Tynemouth to Haymarket and Bank Foot to Haymarket only. The background when zoomed in suggest its the end of the line and the pantograph height is right for Bank Foot.

@mastropotato Nottingham and their unique bodywork on their Atlanteans.

[Killingworth Hippos @killyhippos]

@mastropotato Ooh Atlanteans 😃

[Killingworth Hippos @killyhippos]

@mastropotato Quite an eclectic mix from a humble fiesta right through to Rolls Royce. Even a Yugo for good measure.

@Asm1944 @billy6715 @TyneSnapper @JHCPAL Was used extensively during the 1950s to early 70s in homes, offices, factories and motorway construction until problems began to appear.

@GeorgeCochrane1 Unmistakable Byker.

@Susanne30308556 @NorthEastWeathr Yes another disappointment 😞. Appeared to come as close as Prudhoe then fizzled out.

Maybe the Hippos will see a thunderstorm. Looking ominous to the west and thunderstorms slowly creeping east. @NorthEastWeathr

[Killingworth Hippos @killyhippos]

@NorthEastWeathr Has got steadily heavier in Killingworth. Want a good downpour.....cleans the streets.

[Killingworth Hippos @killyhippos]

@NorthEastWeathr Most underwhelming so far. Bit rain but not torrential or thundery. Still time yet but radar doesn't give much confidence.
