Newcastle upon Tyne often shortened to Newcastle is a city and metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, in North East England. Historically a part of Northumberland, it is 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, Duke of Normandy, 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, from 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 Premier League 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 sixteenth most populous city in the United Kingdom; while 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.
The dialect of Newcastle is known as Geordie, and contains a large amount of vocabulary and distinctive word pronunciations not used in other parts of the United Kingdom. The Geordie dialect has much of its origins in the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxon populations who migrated to and conquered much of England after the end of Roman Imperial rule. This language was the forerunner of Modern English; but while the dialects of other English regions have been heavily altered by the influences of other foreign languages-particularly Latin and Norman French-the Geordie dialect retains many elements of the old language. An example of this is the pronunciation of certain words: "dead", "cow", "house" and "strong" are pronounced "deed", "coo", "hoos" and "strang"-which is how they were pronounced in the Anglo-Saxon language. Other Geordie words with Anglo-Saxon origins include: "larn" (from the Anglo-Saxon "laeran", meaning "teach"), "burn" ("stream") and "gan" ("go"). "Bairn" and "hyem", meaning "child" and "home", are examples of Geordie words with origins in Scandinavia; "barn" and "hjem" are the corresponding modern Norwegian words. Some words used in the Geordie dialect are used elsewhere in the northern United Kingdom. The words "bonny" (meaning "pretty"), "howay" ("come on"), "stot" ("bounce") and "hadaway" ("go away" or "you're kidding"), all appear to be used in Scottish dialect; "aye" ("yes") and "nowt" ,"nothing") are used elsewhere in northern England. Many words, however, appear to be used exclusively in Newcastle and the surrounding area, such as "Canny" (a versatile word meaning "good", "nice" or "very"), "bait" ("food"), "hacky" ("dirty"), "netty" ("toilet"), "hoy" ("throw"), "hockle" ("spit").

Jesmond is a largely residential suburb immediately to the north of Newcastle upon Tyne city centre, in North East England. It has a population of about 12,000 and is split into two electoral wards. Historically part of Northumberland, it is adjacent to the East side of the Town Moor, providing pedestrian and cycle paths to Spital Tongues and the city's two universities. It is widely considered to be the most affluent suburb of Newcastle.
Grainger Town is the historic heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Incorporating classical streets built by Richard Grainger, a builder and developer, between 1824 and 1841, some of Newcastle's finest buildings and streets lie within the Grainger Town area of the city centre including Grainger Market, Theatre Royal, Grey Street, Grainger Street and Clayton Street. These buildings are predominantly four storeys, with vertical dormers, domes, turrets and spikes.
Grainger Town contains 'Tyneside Classical' architecture. One of the streets of Grainger Town, Grey Street, was described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as 'one of the finest streets in England'. Almost all of Grainger Town is within Newcastle's Central Conservation Area, one of the first to be designated in England. The majority of the buildings are in private ownership. The area around Grey's Monument and Grey Street is expanding fast, with high quality shopping outlets, designer fashions and jewellery.

To the dismay of our parents my wife & I decided to move from an affluent Worcestershire to Tyneside during the early seventies, the best decision we ever made, lovely people, great city, we stayed for thirty years and even became bi lingual in Geordie & Queens English.
I have just watched this now 11/01201, i am 57. This film looks like a vision of heaven on earth..

Best in the 80s. In the 90s. The chavs took over and started harassing everyone
very exiled geordie. I remember the grainger market in the late 70's. Sawdust on the floor. Sarah's tuck-in and the lovely smells. Farnon's, the co-op and the early days of Eldon Square. The Trent House Pub. The safest place to drink in the town. Viz comics et all. What great days

Was amazed at about 9.10 in to you tell of a lady who shouted out to potential customers " Pie & peas hinney come & get your hot pies n peas here, bring your bairns in & their prams. that was my great grandmother Martha McCabe who I was told would always feed poor kids at the end of the day for free if she hadn't sold up, she always had something for the really poor undernourished kids & I have also been told she or I should say her spirit still lingers at the 21 café although no longer a balcony café its still above the Grainger oh how id love to peek inside.
Oh , for a Geordie pork sandwich with stuffing and the top dipped in gravy ! A Saturday treat in the 50s . Yum 💝

One of my friends used to live in the flats above it. The whole market was crawling with rats.
some great shops gone, Wengers, Farnons, the American pant house, Peters stores in the haymarket dressed every skinhead in Newcastle for 20 years, Crombies £10, Harringtons £5, 501s £8, Adidas Tshits £4, Marden Saddlery next to the Mayfair for best brogues in town £10 & astronaughts £10 segs 50p
The Toon will never be the same again, far too up market now, even the Grainger market is so much different, R.I.P Newcastle
There's a pub on the corner off the swing bridge, my daughter worked there, there's still some of the old bridge in the cellar

This was back when our town was a thriving hub full of small businesses and bargains galore. Where there was plenty of choice and lots of diversity. Today the town is a sh** hole. The city centre has been taken over by giant conglomerates (INTU) and have turned the place into an eyesore. The shops are all gone, due to high rents, and small businesses can no longer afford to be there. The Grainger Market is empty, with very little choice any more, and every little stall that closes is being turned into yet another *eating* place, as if we didn't already have enough. The entire bottom (and part of the top end) of Eldon Square is now full of over priced, over rated eating places which are all empty. The streets are absolutely FILTHY and never cleaned and litter abounds as well as giant rubbish bins that sit all over the streets. There are times when I walk down Grainger Street and my feet literally stick to the pavement. When was the last time anyone saw a street sweeper in town? Gallowgate and St James Boulevard are now *LEGO LAND* and full of nasty looking, ugly buildings for students and still more being constructed. Our city has been and is being systematically destroyed. The Brewery is gone, the Co-Op is gone and the magnificent building turned into an eye saw that matches the ugly *GATE* white elephant. Our town is a wasteland now full of students, migrants, drunks and druggies and is no longer a place of history and beauty. It's filthy and ugly and empty. And don't let me even get started on the Bigg Market. That is a disgrace.

Totally agree. But it's not just Newcastle. I get around lots of cities and it's the same everywhere. Councils are that intent on making money from people they've totally forgotten about what makes a city thrive. Its customers! No good filling it with overpriced shops no good charging ridiculous amounts for parking no good replacing what we grew up with with new shiny square buildings....we simply won't visit! We won't want to. I see the same thing happening at the MetroCentre over the last 10/15 years. I'm surprised they haven't totally ruined it by charging for parking....but there's time. They start doing that they can forget about it IMO.

Yes, he was a teacher at Highfield. I've lived in and around Felling for over 60 years, most of Felling and Windy Nook are good places but I probably would agree that there are some nutters knocking about now. However that's probably only the last 10 years or so when people began to loose all respect for the police, their neighbourhood and I'd probably suggest that was when drugs became commonplace.
