low fell

Low Fell is a suburb of Gateshead, England. Its approach from the south is "guarded" by the Angel of the North. It is located close to the A1 giving easy access to the motorway network. The area is a relatively affluent one, very popular for young couples starting families, and has a large percentage of elderly people. Politically, inner Low Fell tends to lean towards the Liberal Democrats in local elections, while areas on the periphery traditionally support the Labour Party.
Originally referred to as Gateshead Fell, after the Enclosure Act of 1809, it was separated into High Fell and Low Fell. Until 1790 Low Fell was only populated by vagrants, tinkers and cloggers. Rent was cheap, in some cases even free; most lived in poverty. The first road was named Sodhouse Bank (now Old Durham Road and Sheriff''s Highway), as the houses on it were roofed with turf. New roads gradually began to appear - Lamesley Road which later became Kells Lane and Low Fell Road which became Beaconsfield Road and Belle Vue Bank. In the 1880s there was a decade of intensive building and the population soared. The name Low Fell derives from the meaning of ''village through the fields''

Until 1824 there was still about a mile of farmland between Gateshead and Low Fell. Plans were drawn and a road was built through this farmland in 1826.

Tram station.
Trams ran to Low Fell from Newcastle from the early 1900s until the late 1950s. The building which used to be the tram waiting room still exists. It is situated on the east side of Low Fell at the junction of Kells Lane and Durham Road, and is now a locksmiths, the old clock that sat centrally, above the windows has long gone, yet the circular piece of stone it sat on is still visible today.

It lies on the southern bank of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle upon Tyne and together they form the urban core of Tyneside. Gateshead town centre and Newcastle City Centre are joined by seven different bridges across the Tyne, including the landmark Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The town is becoming increasingly well known for several examples of iconic architecture such as The Sage Gateshead, the Angel of the North and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. Gateshead is set to host BBC Radio 3''s Free Thinking festival.
There has been a settlement on the Gateshead side of the River Tyne, around the old river crossing where the Swing Bridge now stands, since Roman times.

Theories of the derivation of the name ''Gateshead'' include ''head of the road'' or ''goat’s headland'', as the River Tyne at this point was once roamed by goats.

The first recorded mention of Gateshead is in the writings of the Venerable Bede who referred to an Abbot of Gateshead called Utta in 623.
town of Gateshead is situated in the North East of England in the ceremonial county of Tyne and Wear and within the historical boundaries of County Durham. It is located on the southern bank of the River Tyne.

Gateshead experiences a temperate climate which is considerably warmer than some other locations at similar latitudes as a result of the warming influence of the Gulf Stream . It is located in the rain shadow of the North Pennines and is therefore in one of the driest regions of the United Kingdom.
Tyne and Wear Metro stations at Gateshead Interchange and Gateshead Stadium provide direct light-rail access to Newcastle Central Station, Newcastle International Airport, Sunderland, Tynemouth and South Shields.

Gateshead Interchange is the busiest bus station in Tyne and Wear and was used by 3.9 million bus passengers in 2008 .

National Rail services are provided by Northern Rail at Dunston and MetroCentre stations. The East Coast Main Line, which runs from London to Edinburgh, cuts directly through the town on its way between Newcastle Central and Chester-le-Street stations.

Several major road links pass through Gateshead, including the A1 which links London to Edinburgh and the A184 which connects the town to Sunderland.

tyne & wear

Tyne and Wear is a metropolitan county in North East England around the mouths of the Rivers Tyne and Wear. It came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972. It consists of the five metropolitan boroughs of South Tyneside, North Tyneside, City of Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and the City of Sunderland.

North Tyneside and Newcastle upon Tyne had previously existed within the historic county of Northumberland, whereas South Tyneside, Gateshead and Sunderland were all previously within the borders of County Durham, with the River Tyne forming the border of the two counties.

Tyne and Wear is bounded on the east by the North Sea, and as a Ceremonial county, shares borders with Northumberland to the north and County Durham to the south.

Tyne and Wear County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts are now effectively unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference.
