Until the 1960s, Byker was a Victorian working-class area of densely built terraces. Much of the housing needed major repair and some was considered unfit for human habitation (many houses lacked bathrooms), yet most residents wanted to stay in Byker, an area close to industry on the riverside. In 1966 Newcastle City Corporation took the decision to redevelop the Byker area. The council aimed to clear the slums but keep the community.

I had forgot about this thread :p

I am only 1/16 Italian, from a paternal grand grandpa of my Venezuelan's dad side (the paternal grandpa of my paternal grandpa). However, I inherited the Italian last name of this Italian grand grandpa (my first surname), and I also feel proud of that small share of Italian heritage, as I am proud of my small share of Amerindian heritage.

Even if 1/16 is not much, it is still part of me, and I would not exist, if it wasn't for it :)

I have no idea of from which part of Italy my Italian grand grand pa was from, so I will post some random pictures from everywhere in Italy...

You could post landscapes of Italy, Greece, Scandinavia, and the Iberian Peninsula in general.

I don't know from where in Italy my Italian great great father was from (I am 1/16 Italian), so I posted landscapes from all over Italy.

Syrmia, Panonia, Serbia:

When my German ancestors immigrated to America in the 1850's and 1860's, there was no German nation. My ancestors came from the area known then as the grand duchy Mecklenberg-Schwerin in northeastern Germany.

Schwerin, Germany...

Marchal, Granada, Spain

My family owned orchards (olive and nuts), and raised goats in Marchal for many years.

"This village originated as a medieval farmhouse in the Arab period. Abundant cave-homes and Moorish remains can be found.
In the 15th century this area was assigned to the last remnants of the Moorish population."
