Walking Tour through Newcastle upon Tyne - 3 hours Walking Tour

This 3 hour walking tour commences at the Ever Changing Sculpture located on Westagte Road opposite Tilleys bar and captures the evolution of the toon through its links to the industry and commerce to becoming a city in 1882. It also covers the architecture of Grainger Town, its market, the cathedral, the castle and the redevelopment of the riverside. I will endeavour to relate the history to comparable issues that are relevant today and point out the architecural features that make Newcastle interesting. I will undertake the tour with the North East Culture of openess and friendliness.
