 Newcastle and Gateshead history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Gateshead Borough on the south side of the River Tyne is the home to over 200,000 people and includes the towns of Whickham, Blaydon, Winlaton and Ryton as well as Gateshead and its subburbs.
Throughout its history the town of Gateshead has lived in the shadows of the commercially powerful and historically wealthier Newcastle, but despite this strong competition Gateshead has managed to rigidly hold onto its own identity and refuses to become a mere subburb of the Geordie capital.
From the earliest times Gateshead has been at the head of an important road or `gate' from the south and this would suggest that the name of the town is a reference to its location at the head of the `gate'.
