About Newcastle
Newcastle upon Tyne is a university town on the River Tyne in the north-east of England. Like its sister city, Gateshead, it was an important shipyard and a manufacturing hub during the Industrial Revolution. Today it is a center of business, art and science. The modern Gateshead Millennium Bridge, which crosses the River Tyne, is distinguished by an original inclined structure that represents the two cities.
