Lindisfarne (Or Holy Island) is a photographers
paradise and Geordielife aims to give a better quality of

A Visit from North Carolina
 'Yes,
it felt like a visit to Shields after watching your video. My son
(who is now 33)

History of Newcastle upon Tyne
Many of our large towns and cities are products of
the "industrial revolution" of the late eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries; but Newcastle upon Tyne has a long and proud history,
documented since Roman times.
The Romans realised the military value of the site in its command of
the Tyne crossing: they built a bridge guarded by a fort - called "Pons
Aelius" - in about 122 AD, which formed a vital part of the frontier
defence system which we know as Hadrian's Wall.
