Newcastle Upon Tyne

a city in Great Britain, and the administrative center of the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. Population, 222,200 (1971). The city is a transportation junction and port at the mouth of the Tyne River, near the point where it flows into the North Sea. It is the center of the Tyneside conurbation. The chief industries are shipbuilding, ship repair, and the production of electrical equipment, boilers, turbines, ship’s engines, and mining equipment. It is also a commercial and financial center. A university was established in the city in 1963, and the city has a museum of science and industry in which G. Stephenson’s steam locomotive is exhibited.

Remains of the Roman Wall (second century) and city walls dating from 1265 have survived. The city layout was unplanned until the early 19th century, when certain streets were redesigned by the architects J. Dobson and R. Grainger. Noteworthy sites include a Romanesque castle (c. 1080), a dungeon (1172–77), the Black Gate (mid-13th century), a late Gothic cathedral (c. 1216–1359, with a tower dating from the second third of the 15th century), and the town hall (mid-17th century, architect, R. Trollop). The city has a two-level iron bridge, built between 1845 and 1849 by the engineer R. Stephenson. A notable example of modern architecture is the shipbuilding company’s building (1943–52), designed by the architect R. Sheppard.
