More about Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne, often shortened to Newcastle, is
a city and metropolitan borough situated on the north
bank of the River Tyne, in North East England. This
northernmost city in England was founded in Roman times
under the name Pons Aelius, with the current name being
adopted from 1080 onwards.
The city is the 20th most populous in England, and as
such, is one of England's core cities.
Technically, people from Newcastle are Novocastrians (a
Latin term which can equally be applied to residents of
any place called Newcastle), although the term Geordie
is now more commonly used.
The development of the city in the 1960s and 1970s saw
the demoliton of part of Graingertown as a prelude to
the modernist rebuilding initiatives of T. Dan Smith,
the leader of Newcastle City Council. A corruption
scandal was uncovered involving Smith and John Poulson,
a property developer, and both were jailed. Echoes of
the scandal were revisited in the late 1990s in the BBC
TV mini-series, Our Friends in the North.
The Tyne gorge between Newcastle (on the north Bank) and
Gateshead (an administratively separate borough) on the
south, is famous for a series of dramatic bridges,
including the Tyne Bridge of 1928 and Robert
Stephenson's High Level Bridge of 1849, the first
road/rail bridge in the world. Large-scale regeneration
has replaced former shipping premises with imposing new
office developments; an innovative tilting bridge, the
Gateshead Millennium Bridge was commissioned by
Gateshead and has integrated the older Newcastle
Quayside more closely with major cultural developments
in Gateshead, including the BALTIC Centre for
Contemporary Art and the Norman Foster-designed Sage
music centre. NewcastleGateshead Quayside is now a
thriving, cosmopolitan area with an abundance of bars,
restaurants and public spaces. As a tourist promotion,
Newcastle and Gateshead have linked together under the
banner "NewcastleGateshead", but otherwise remain
separate.
Notable Newcastle housing developments include Ralph
Erskine's the Byker Wall designed in the 1960s and now
Grade II-listed. It is on UNESCO's list of outstanding
20th century buildings.
Newcastle's thriving Chinatown lies in the northwest of
Grainger Town, centered on Stowell Street. A new Chinese
Arch, or paifang, providing a landmark entrance, was
handed over to the City with a ceremony in 2005.
The UK's first Biotechnology Village, the "Centre for
Life" is located in the City Centre close to the Central
Station. The village is the first step in the City
Council's plans to transform Newcastle into a Science
city.
Of the population, 11.8% described themselves as "not
healthy" in the 12 months before the 2001 census,
compared to a national average of 9.2%. Additionally,
21.6% of the inhabitants said they had a long-term
illness, as against 18.2% nationally.
Newcastle Hospitals Trust One has one of the lowest
mortality rates in the country and is ranked second in
the country for confidence in doctors. Staffing levels
are high - in the top 70 in England for doctors and the
top ten for nurses. Newcastle has three large teaching
hospitals: the Royal Victoria Infirmary, whose organ
donor system has been featured on television; the
Newcastle General Hospital and the Freeman Hospital,
which is Britain's best transplant centre.
Newcastle has a reputation for being a fun-loving city
with many bars, restaurants and nightclubs. More
recently, Newcastle has become popular as a destination
for Stag and Hen parties. Newcastle was also given 7th
place in the 'Worldwide best places for a Night-Out', in
2000.[citation needed]
The majority of drinking venues in Newcastle are located
in one of three main areas. The oldest of these is the
Bigg Market, long-established as a favourite haunt for
locals, followed by the trendy Quayside area, a
spectacular mix of modern and traditional architecture
which creates a fantastic backdrop for a sometimes
frantic Saturday night. The newest of these areas is
"The Gate", which is a new indoor complex consisting of
bars, upmarket clubs, restaurants and a 12-screen Empire
multiplex cinema.
Over recent years, the suburb of Jesmond has become a
popular drinking area, with a number of bars and
restaurants being set up along the area's main artery,
Osborne Road. These tend to be popular with the area's
students and young professionals.
There are several major shopping areas in Newcastle city
centre. The largest of these is the Eldon Square
shopping centre, which incorporates the largest Fenwick
department store in the UK and a John Lewis store
(formerly known as Bainbridge), which is often cited as
the first department store in the UK.
The main shopping street in the city is Northumberland
Street. In a 2004 report, it was ranked as the most
expensive shopping road in the UK for rent, outside
London. Other shopping centres in Newcastle include the
relatively modern Eldon Garden and Monument Mall
complexes, the Newgate Centre, Leazes Arcade and the
traditional Grainger Market. The largest suburban
shopping areas are Gosforth and Byker. The largest
indoor shopping centre in Europe, The MetroCentre in
Gateshead is also nearby.
