The ParishNewcastle upon Tyne (hereafter simply Newcastle) lies in the extreme south of Northumberland forming part of the border with County Durham, the Tyne performs that boundary function. Newcastle is the major city of the county, its capital and seat of local administration. Newcastle is situated some 276 miles north of London and 117 southeast of Edinburgh and sits on the main A1 road (The Great North Road) which connects the two, modern communications also connect with the main East Coast rail line passing through Newcastle, a major stop and junction for the railway too. Once consisting of a just a short stretch of waterfront and hinterland, the metropolis that is today's Tyneside has engulfed many former villages and become contiguous to the North Sea coast and for almost 5 miles in every other direction. Newcastle's economy grew from its great strength as a port, the exporting of coal from Newcastle being almost a cliché but was certainly true, industries of many kinds grew up around the port, shipbuilding being one of the more obvious. The city also functions as the main market for its region, possesses all the shopping, and white collar businesses for a regional capital. Newcastle was not a city at the time of this transcript, that status being granted only in 1882. St Nicholas church then becoming the cathedral church. Newcastle sits on the banks of Tyne which drains the area to the nearby North Sea, a journey of 12 miles by river. The parish of All Saints is sited at around 20 metres above the sea, the banks of the Tyne rising steeply into the city, local heights rise nearby to almost 120 metres within a mile or so. All Saints parish covered the eastern section of the city including former rural areas now covered in housing & industry, it included large sections of the city's docklands and some of the poorest areas in densely packed yards & tenements, the parish area of just under 700 acres would have supported a growing population of around 25,000 parishioners at the end of this transcript's period. Newcastle is not mentioned in Domesday Book which did not cover this area of England. |
