Newcastle upon Tyne
(often shortened to Newcastle) is a city and metropolitan borough of Tyne
and Wear, in North East England. Situated on the north bank of the River
Tyne, the city developed in the area that was the location of the Roman
settlement called Pons Aelius, though it owes its name to the castle built
in 1080, by Robert II, the eldest son of William the Conqueror. The city
grew as an important centre for the wool trade and it later became a major
coal mining area. The port developed in the 16th century and, along with
the shipyards lower down the river, was amongst the world's largest shipbuilding
and ship-repairing centres. These industries have since experienced severe
decline and closure, and the city today is largely a business and cultural
centre, with a particular reputation for nightlife. |
Like most cities, Newcastle
has a diverse cross section, having areas of poverty to areas of affluence.
Among its main icons are Newcastle Brown Ale, a leading brand of beer,
Newcastle United F.C., a Football League Championship team, and the Tyne
Bridge. It has hosted the world's most popular half marathon, the Great
North Run, since it began in 1981. |

The city is
the twentieth most populous in England; the larger Tyneside conurbation,
of which Newcastle forms part, is the sixth most populous conurbation in
the United Kingdom. Newcastle is a member of the English Core Cities
Group and with Gateshead the Eurocities network of European cities.
The regional nickname for people from Newcastle and the surrounding area
is Geordie. |
