Notes: Newcastle upon Tyne (usually shortened to Newcastle) is a city in Tyne and Wear, England. It is located along the north bank of the River Tyne and was formerly the county town of Northumberland.

The city was founded in Roman times under the name Pons Aelius. The medieval Latin name is Novum Castrum super Tynum (Newcastle upon Tyne).

The city is the 20th most populous in England; the larger Tyneside conurbation, of which Newcastle forms part, is the 6th most populous conurbation in the United Kingdom. Newcastle is a member of the English Core Cities Group[3] and (with Gateshead) the Eurocities network of European cities.

People from Newcastle and surrounding areas are commonly called Geordies. The Latin term Novocastrian, can equally be applied to residents of any place called Newcastle.

The Tyne Bridge
The Tyne Bridge across the River Tyne between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. Taken from the deck of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, looking west.

The Tyne Bridge is the compression arch bridge in green. Below and behind it is the Swing Bridge, in red. Behind that, in grey, is the High Level Bridge. Behind that is the w:Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge. You can just about see the pillars of the King Edward VII Bridge, which carries the mainline railway across the river into Newcastle Central station; and, I assure you, the Redheugh Bridge (a modern road bridge) is hidden behind them all.

This photo appears to have been taken from the Tyne's easternmost bridge, the low-level, swivelling, pedestrian Millenium Bridge.
