Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne lies in the tidal valley of the River Tyne, a setting that has shaped the city’s form and working life. For centuries, the river carried coal from north-east England and supported shipbuilding, leaving a legacy along the quaysides and in former industrial districts. The Tyne Bridge, opened in 1928, is the city’s best-known crossing, while the Quayside links Newcastle with Gateshead on the opposite bank. Above the centre, the 12th-century Castle Keep recalls the fortified site from which the city took its name. Grainger Town’s early-19th-century streets provide a formal Georgian contrast.
