A guided tour of Whitley Bay and Seaton Sluice, showing how these two northeast seaside towns have changed over the past century and more.
A guided tour of Newcastle, showing how this famous northeast city has changed over the past century and more.
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.
Wallsend History Tour is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Complete with a map of the town's most notable places, readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the town as Ken Hutchinson guides us through the local streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area for all of their lives, or whether they are just visiting this fabulous town. The book shows how photography has evolved to document an ever-changing society.
