The rich and diverse history of the Tyne and Wear region is reflected in its architecture. Make sure you visit its famous landmarks. For further information please use the menu below:- Arbeia Roman Fort Baring Street, South Shields NE33. Tel: 0191 4561369. Remains of gateway, fort wall and defences. Bessie Surtees House 41-44 Sandhill, Newcastle NE1 3JF. Tel: 0191 2611585. Built in the mid 17th century, number 41 Sandhill, Newcastle Upon Tyne, is best known as the scene of one of England;s most romantic elopements: that of Bessie Surtees and John Scott - later to become Lord Chancellor of England - in 1772. At first appearance a beautiful and fine surviving Tudor house, No. 41 is in fact, an amalgamation of rescued elements from a number of semi-derelict properties installed at No. 41 in the 1930;s. However these elements include a splendid moulded ceiling on the first floor. The property is open to the public, but it is also the north of England headquarters of English heritage. Bridges Across The Tyne. High Level Bridge (1845-1849) Designed by one of Tyneside's most famous individuals - Robert Stephenson - the High Level Bridge was designed as a unique and ingenious means of catering for both the revolutionary locomotive engine and for road traffic. Testimony to this edifice as a;wonder; of the industrial revolution in Britain is that few repairs have been carried out on the bridge despite the volume of modern traffic. Swing Bridge (1868-1876) Designed to accommodate the growing number of ships being built at Sir William Armstrong;s famous Elswick works, the Swing Bridge offered a continuity of river crossings at that point of the river which had began with the Romans. It was then the largest such bridge in the world, and the first vessel to pass to was to take on board the largest gun that had ever been manufactured. Still hydraulically powered by its original engines the Swing Bridge has the same Armstrong machinery operating it as has London;s Tower Bridge. Tyne Road Bridge (1925-1928) Perhaps our greatest and most prominent landmark, the Tyne Bridge is a symbol of Tyneside known throughout the world. It was built both to accommodate and to augment an increasing traffic problem. There is a consistent misconception, stated with understandable local pride, that The Tyne Bridge;s equally respected counterpart in Sydney, Australia, was modelled on that spanning the Tyne. Perhaps it is to our misfortune that, in direct contradiction, we modelled ours on a design first commissioned for Sydney. Nevertheless, the Tyne Bridge was the largest single-span bridge in Britain at the time of opening. Castle Keep Saint Nicholas St., Newcastle NE1 1RQ. Tel: 0191 2327938. Little remains today of the castle which gave Newcastle its name, yet what remains is impressive. With its origins going back at least as far as the 11th century, and now unable to play its original role as the defensive structure, the Keep and adjoining gatehouse - the Black Gate - remain in splendid isolation as powerful architectural symbols of the city's historic role: as bastions against invasion. Ironically, however, what - with its battlements - is so romantic a vision is a product of 19th Century good taste. Abandoned and neglected since the English Civil War (1642-1646) the castle by 1809, was regarded as little more than a crumbling ruin. a growing interest in history and a desire to smarten up the city, led to considerable renovation, including the building of its now so familiar battlements. Central Station Newcastle upon Tyne NE1. Built between 1845 and 1850 to John Dobson's design, and being the principle railway station on the historic Newcastle-Carlisle line. Dobson noted that Railway buildings ought to do much for architechture, being a new class of structures erected for...the present generation...They are especially public works..and might do much towards improving the tastes of the public. City Walls Newcastle Upon Tyne. Built mainly throughout the 13th Century, the walls of the city were a strong deterrent against the ambitions of many potential invaders. And, in 1540, it was to be said that:;The strength and magnificence of the walling of this town far passeth all the walls of the Cities of England, and most of the towns of Europe;. From being defensive and defining of the city;s territorial status, much of the wall was demolished in the 18th century due to it being a:;great obstruction to carriages and hinderance to the dispatch of business;. Nonetheless, there remain some fine sections of the wall, defining still, the boundaries of the old city*. Reference to the many former towers along the length of the wall can be found in the names of Newcastle;s modern thoroughfares i.e. Pink Lane, Mordern Street, Carliol Square. Dial Cottage Great Lime Rd, West Moor, Killingworth NE12 0DQ. Tel: 0191 2622627. Stephenson's family lived here in 1802-1824. Earl Grey Monument Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne. Built in 1838, Grey;s Monument commemorates the Reform Bill of 1832 and honours also, a great liberator of the business community. By ensuring that the Reform Bill was passed, Earl Grey enfranchised the middle classes, thereby giving them a say in the business of Parliament. The streets which emanate from Grey;s Monument - designed and constructed by *John Dobson and Richard Grainger - represent a new era of prestige and - more importantly - that Political Voice, which was at the very heart of the Reform Bill. *See Central Station. Grey Street and;Graingertown; Newcastle Upon Tyne. Nicolas Peusner, the great architectural historian, said that Grey Street was;one of the best streets in England; and;the best of *Graingers (Richard) City streets;, an opinion voiced by the famous nineteenth century politician W.E. Gladstone, when he said that:;it was the finest street in modern times.; And Grey Street with its elegant curvature - seen at best, perhaps in the early evening light with its sandstone exteriors glowing - is surely something wonderful. Hastening down John Dobson Street - what has this to do with such a great man? - we enter an architectural age of beauty and elegance. Linger in the town centre and be inspired by art at its best in what is becoming known as;Graingertown;, and remember also Richard Grainger;s equally gifted and inspired friend John Dobson: together they transformed Newcastle.
