Situated on the north bank of the River Tyne, at the lowest
bridging point, Newcastle is generally regarded as the capital of
the north-eastern region of the United Kingdom. Initially a Roman
settlement, Pons Aellius, the city grew to become an important site
during the expansion of the wool trade in the fourteenth century
and later played an integral role in the nation's booming coal
industry. Today the city hosts the Great North Run and boasts
numerous icons, among which are its famous Newcastle Brown Ale and
successful Premier League team, Newcastle United FC. Evidence of
Newcastle's past can be seen in its streets. The city's Roman
origins are represented by remaining sections of Hadrian's Wall,
and its industrial heritage is evident in its quayside and
warehouses. In addition to these more visually obvious fragments of
the past exist little-known passages, buildings, tunnels and other
secret places that reveal more of Newcastle than meets the eye.
Join author Ken Hutchinson in exploring the more clandestine
aspects of the city's long and varied history.
