robson

This is an English surname much associated with the north of the country. Recorded in the spellings of Robson, Robeson and Robison, they were, according to Black''s "Surnames of Scotland", one of the famous four English clans of North Tyneside in the 16th century. In origin the name is a short derivative of the pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon personal name "Hrodbert" the modern Robert, composed of three elements; hrod meaning renown, berht bright or famous, and the patronymic son. In an early register of the late medieval period known as the "Dialogue" they were "good honest men and true, saving a little shifting for their living." The surname first appears in the Poll Tax rolls of the county of Yorkshire in the year 1379, when Richard Robson and Thomas Robyson are so recorded. Later examples include: John Robson, who was appointed clerk of the market of Bridgetown, in the island of Barbados in 1679, whilst the artist George Robson exhibited as a water - colour painter at the Royal Academy from 1807. The name is strongly associated with the theatre through such luminaries as the late Paul Robeson , who was the grandson of a slave, and Dame Flora Robson , whilst in sport and particularly soccer through various nameholders such as the former England manager, Bobby Robson.

gosforth

Gosforth is an area of Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, England to the north of the city centre. Gosforth constituted an urban district from 1895 to 1974, when it became part of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. It has a population of 23,620. There are two electoral wards that bear the Gosforth name, East Gosforth and West Gosforth, and modern day Gosforth includes other wards such as Parklands.
The modern day centre of Gosforth, stradding the Great North Road , originated in 1826 as a settlement known for several decades as Bulman Village. It originally consisted of a number of properties large enough to qualify occupiers for the franchise , built by the Bulman family in an attempt to provide voters for their cause in the 1826 elections. A stone bearing the name ''Bulman Village'' survives and was incorporated in the facade of a later building, the Halifax Bank building north of the Brandling Arms public house.

The Blacksmith''s Arms public house on Gosforth High Street, stands on the sight of the original blacksmiths forge.

newcastle upon tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne is a city and metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, in North East England. Situated on the north bank of the River Tyne, the city developed in the area that was the location of the Roman settlement called Pons Aelius, though it owes its name to the castle built in 1080, by Robert II, Duke of Normandy, the eldest son of William the Conqueror. The city grew as an important centre for the wool trade and it later became a major coal mining area. The port developed in the 16th century and, along with the shipyards lower down the river, was amongst the world''s largest shipbuilding and ship-repairing centres. These industries have since experienced severe decline and closure, and the city today is largely a business and cultural centre, with a particular reputation for nightlife.

Like most cities, Newcastle has a diverse cross section, from areas of poverty to areas of affluence. Among its main icons are Newcastle Brown Ale, a leading brand of beer, Newcastle United F.C., a Premier League team, and the Tyne Bridge. It has hosted the world''s most popular half marathon, the Great North Run, since it began in 1981.
