Newcastle Upon Tyne is more commonly known as Newcastle and is a city in Tyne and Wear, North East England, 103 miles south of Edinburgh and 277 miles north of London on the northern bank of the River Tyne.
Newcastle is the most populous city in the North East and forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation and is the eighth most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. Newcastle upon Tyne is home to premier league football club Newcastle United who play at St. James’ Park in the centre of Newcastle. Since 1981 Newcastle upon Tyne has hosted the Great North Run, a half marathon which attracts over 57,000 runners each year, believed to be the biggest half marathon in the world.
The first recorded settlement in what is now Newcastle was Pons Aelius (“Hadrian’s bridge”), a Roman fort and bridge across the River Tyne. It was given the family name of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who founded it in the 2nd century AD. This rare honour suggests Hadrian may have visited the site and instituted the bridge on his tour of Britain. Fragments of world famous Hadrian’s Wall are visible in parts of Newcastle, particularly along the West Road.
An interesting fact about Newcastle comes form its green space. Town Moor, lying immediately north of Newcastle city centre is larger than London’s famous Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath put together.
The freemen of the city have the right to graze cattle on it. This right extends to the pitch of St. James’ Park, Newcastle United Football Club‘s ground; thankfully for the players this is not exercised, although the Freemen do collect rent for the loss of privilege.
Sitting on the River Tyne, Newcastle has the famous landmark The Tyne Bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne that links Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. The bridge was designed by the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson, who later designed the Forth Road Bridge, and was built by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough. The bridge was officially opened on 10 October 1928 by King George V and has since become a defining symbol of Tyneside. It is ranked as the tenth tallest structure in the city. Newcastle and Gateshead are now working together as the commercial, educational and the cultural focus for North East England. Some famous names from the Newcastle upon Tyne area include musician Sting, footballers Sir Bobby Robson, Alan Shearer and entertainers Ant & Dec.
