Newcastle upon Tyne - Still Evolving After Two Millennium

Dating back to Roman times and the name Pons Aelius, Newcastle is a city of contrasts: old, new and evolving. Once a major English industrial centre, most of the industry - including the brewery of "Newcastle Brown Ale" and the shipyards in nearby Landsend which closed in 2006, have long since gone - but the new Newcastle and Gateshead, located across the River Tyne, are now retail and entertainment centers.

the city received its modern name of Newcastle upon Tyne (or Newcastle for short) in 1080. The city itself ranks 20th in population but the Tyneside metro area, which includes Newcastle, is the 5th most populous in England.

To view my highlight photo albums, click below:

All photos are posted to Flickr! Viewing albums on Flickr is a little tricky. The easiest way is (1) open the set and then (2) choose Detail view in the lower left corner. This will open the set so you can see a larger thumbnail of each photo and its description. If you do this, you can quickly view thumbnails and expand to see enlarged views for any and all pictures. I would also appreciate any comments you might have and your vote for your favorite photos.
