Ten Great Reasons for Visiting Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle may not be the largest city in the United Kingdom but it is one full of history, culture, entertainment and so much more. Here are just ten of the reasons for visiting Newcastle upon Tyne.

History of Newcastle and Tyneside

Newcastle has a history spanning 1800 years, when it was first made into a settlement by the Romans as a fort for the protection of a bridge over the important River Tyne.

Since this time, Newcastle upon Tyne has played a pivotal role in the history of the United Kingdom in so many facets, many of which have left their legacy on the city you can see today.

The history of the city of Newcastle is multi-layered, and a visit to Newcastle will open the eyes of anyone who visits as they wander around the city taking in the historical monuments and buildings of days gone by.

Newcastle is renowned across the UK and Europe for its night life.

Many a group of revellers love to descend on this northern city to enjoy a wonderful night out in the many pubs, bars and clubs throughout the city.

Museums in Newcastle upon Tyne

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:05:13 +0000

Museums in Newcastle upon Tyne

There are a number of interesting museums in the city of Newcastle open to visitors of all ages.

Here are a few of the museums that Newcastle has to offer:

Discovery Museum

The Discovery Museum is located in Blandford Square in Newcastle upon Tyne, taking its place among the largest free museums in the region of North East England – it’s a great museum dedicated to science and history which was awarded with the North East’s Best Experience award in 2006.

The museum was established in 1934 as the Municipal Museum of Science and Industry, displaying all of its collections in a pavilion which was built for an exhibition in 1929 called the North East Coast Exhibition.

Through the years the collection of items has increased in number and because of this it became necessary for the museum to find a bigger place to expand; the museum was relocated to Blandford House in 1978, and in 1993 was re-named as the Discovery Museum.

The museum houses many historical items such as the 34 metre long Turbinia ship, built by Charles Algernon Parsons, as well as some examples of Joseph Swan’s light bulbs.

The Discovery Museum has recently been renovated, showing a floor of brand new galleries and displays.

Opening Times:
Monday to Saturday 10.00am – 5.00pm
Sunday 2.00pm – 5.00pm

Great North Museum: Hancock

The Hancock Museum in Newcastle upon Tyne, http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/greatnorthmuseum/ is owned by the Natural History Society of Northumbria http://www.nhsn.ncl.ac.uk/ , and managed by Tyne and Wear Museums, http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/.

The museum first opened its doors in 1884 and was named after Albany and John Hancock, the local Victorian naturalists.

Some of the museum’s most interesting displays include the full size reproduction of a T-Rex skeleton, a real size cast of an African elephant and the Egyptian mummy Bakt-hor-Nekt. These are all situated in the Fossil Stories Gallery and are just a small part of the historical items within it.

The Hancock Museum has undergone some major restoration and reconstruction, and now holds displays on Ancient Egypt and Greece, Romans and Hadrian’s Wall, World Cultures and Pre-history, Geology and Natural History. A study garden, an exhibition space, a digital Planetarium and some additional learning facilities are also be the part of the new aspect of the museum.

Opening Times:
Monday to Saturday 10.00am – 5.00pm
Sunday 2.00pm – 5.00pm

The Museum houses many unique collections of items which are relevant to Britain’s maritime heritage and is supported by a great number of paintings and a library.

There are three buildings that form the Trinity Maritime Museum institution: the 1800 Entrance Hall, the 1505 private Brethrens Chapel, and the 1721 Banqueting Hall and Board Room.

Opening times:

Visiting the Courtyard is possible Monday to Friday, 9.00am – 5.00pm

Shipley Art Gallery Gateshead

The Shipley Art Gallery is a delightful little institution in Gateshead, showing some of the best the region has to offer in art and performance.

The Baltic Art Gallery may be more famous now, and the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle City Centre more prevalent, but the Shipley is what art is all about and what makes a local art gallery what it is.

Shipley and Designs for Life

This prized little art gallery is in a beautiful Grade II listed Edwardian Building, and as you head up the stairs and under the pillars into the place you realize you are somewhere special.

It may be a modest place but don’t be fooled, the Shipley Art Gallery has a strong link with the V & A Museum in London, and over the last couple of decades has established itself as a national centre of excellence in contemporary craftwork – housing one of the best collections of ceramic, wood, metal, textiles and glass artworks, and continues to host contemporary displays of this type.

The Shipley was first opened to the public in 1917 thanks to the generosity of Joseph Shipley, a wealthy local art collector who left enough in his will to ensure the creation of the Shipley Art Gallery, and at the time of his death had amassed 25,000 art works.

This passion for the arts is still evident at Shipley Art Gallery today and the local community is very much part of gallery in terms of art and performances, as The Shipley continues to offer free events to the community and visitors alike.

Furthermore, Shipley Art Gallery holds a painting depicting one of the most cherished days in Geordie Culture from days gone by (and still sung about on football terraces at St James’ Park today): William C. Irving’s famous painting of the Blaydon Races takes pride of place at the gallery, and is a delightful, colourful insight into the festivities of the day.

On your visit to the Shipley Art Gallery you can also take in a walk around nearby Saltwell Park to let what you have just been viewing sink in, in relaxing and peaceful surroundings. This Victorian park has lovely landscaped walks, a boating lake and views from open spaces, taking you away from the bustle of central Gateshead.

The Shipley Art Gallery offers a wonderful day out to view art close up in an unfussy way which, I’m sure, is how art is intended to be enjoyed.

This free gallery is tucked away in the Gateshead community between Bensham and Deckham just off the A167 on Prince Consort Road, conveniently near the Gateshead Metro station.
