Newcastle-upon-Tyne - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | To the N. of the city is the Castle Leazes ornamental park of 35 acres, and beyond this the Town Moor and racecourse, an extensive common, the survival of the pasture land of the township. |
 | | Newcastle is connected with the south bank of the Tyne by four bridges - two high-level bridges, an hydraulic swing bridge and a suspension bridge. |
 | | Newcastle owes its prosperity to its convenient situation on a tidal river, and to the immense stores of coal in the neighbourhood, which, besides being largely exported, stimulate a great variety of industries which are dependent on their use. |
