<p>Sawneybeane: </p> <hr /> <div>Chester le Street is a town in [[County Durham]], north-east [[England]]. Its name indicated that it was the location of a [[Roman]] fort (OE: ceaster) and on a Roman road (OE: streat]], the road in question leading from [[York]] to the forts of [[South Shields]] and [[Newcastle upon Tyne]]. <br /> <br /> The body of [[St. Cuthbert]] (c.634-687) lay at Chester le Street for 113 years, between 882 and 995. Cuthbert had been entombed at the monastery of [[Lindisfarne]], on [[Holy Island]], but following the [[Viking]] raid on the monastery in 875, the monks fled the island, bearing Cuthbert's body with them. After a seven-year peregrination around [[Northumbria]], they settled in Chester le Street; in 995 they (and Cuthbert) moved to [[Ripon]], before finally settling in [[Durham]].<br /> <br /> In the nineteenth century Chester le Street became the centre of a prosperous coal mining district.<br /> <br /> [[Category:United Kingdom Towns and Cities]]</div>

<p>Sawneybeane: Emmanuel College &amp; creationism</p> <hr /> <div>Gateshead is a town and municipal borough in north-east [[England]], on the south bank of the [[River Tyne]] opposite [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], to which is connected by several bridges. Its population is 191,000.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> Gateshead has a long history, being mentioned by [[Bede]] (as ''ad caput caprae'', 'at the headland of the goats')&lt;ref&gt;http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/Gateshead.htm&lt;/ref&gt; but has always been overshadowed by its northern neighbour. Newcastle's lordship over the River Tyne up to 1850 curtailed the ability of other riverside settlements, including Gateshead, to grow.<br /> <br /> The town began to expand in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The main industries were the mining of coal, the manufacture of rope (for shipping and mining purposes), chemicals manufacture, and the manufacture and maintenance of railway locomotives at the [[North Eastern Railway]]'s works. In the early twentieth century the NER works was transferred to [[Darlington]] and local mining was in sharp decline. Gateshead entered upon a century of economic depression&lt;ref&gt;http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DUR/GatesheadHistory/Ch6.html&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> In his 1934 work ''English Journey'' [[J.B. Priestley]] described Gateshead: &quot;If there is any town of like size on the continent of Europe that can show a similar lack of civic dignity and all the evidence of an urban civilization, I should like to know its name and quality. No true civilization could have produced such a town, which is nothing better than a huge dingy dormitory&quot;.<br /> <br /> In 1986 the MetroCentre, Britain's first large out-of-town shopping mall on the American model, was opened on the outskirts of Gateshead on the site of a former cokeworks. Although it further damaged the town centre economy of Gateshead, it has become an imoprtant employment and retail centre on [[Tyneside]] and has served as the model for several other large centres around British cities&lt;ref&gt;http://www.metrocentre-gateshead.co.uk/&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> In 1992 the second of a series of Garden Festivals promoted by the Conservative government minister [[Michael Heseltine]] and intended to stimulate regeneration was held at Gateshead (the first was in Liverpool; others were held at [[Stoke on Trent]] and [[Merthyr Tydfil]]). Although enjoyed by large crowds, it failed to have the intended long term catalytic effect&lt;ref&gt;http://pixec.fotopic.net/c268200.html&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==Culture==<br /> <br /> Gateshead Council has for many years pursued a policy of using art as a motor for urban regeneration&lt;ref&gt;http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/Leisure%20and%20Culture/Art/arthome.aspx&lt;/ref&gt;. This policy culminated in recent years with the opening of the Baltic, a centre for contemporary art in a converted grain warehouse, and the Sage Music Centre, on its formerly run-down quayside&lt;ref&gt;http://www.balticmill.com/&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.thesagegateshead.org/&lt;/ref&gt;. The arts complex is surrounded by expensive apartments and is connected to the cafes, bars and hotels of Newcastle's quayside by a landmark opening pedestrian/cycle bridge, likened to an opening eye&lt;ref&gt;http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/Leisure%20and%20Culture/bridge/Background.aspx&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==Regeneration==<br /> <br /> Regeneration of the town centre is likely to involve the imminent demolition of its most prominent landmark, a large [[brutalist]] multi-storey car park (1964-69), designed by [[Owen Luder]] and made famous by the film [[Get Carter]]&lt;ref&gt;http://www.riskybuildings.org.uk/docs/04gateshead/index.html&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6763067.stm&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/pipexdsl/o/aouq09/getcarter/carpark.htm&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Education==<br /> <br /> Emmanuel College in Gateshead is a state school managed by the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, and is known for teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory &lt;ref&gt;http://bcseweb.org.uk/index.php/Main/EmmanuelSchoolsFoundation&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> Sources:<br /> <br /> J.B.

<p>Sawneybeane: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Newcastle upon Tyne''' (usually referred to simply as Newcastle or locally as 'Toon') is a city in the northeast of [[England]], 280 miles north of [[London]] and located on the main railway and road between London and [[Edinburgh]]. It has many interesting [[bridges]] across the [[River]] [[Tyne]]. It has a population of 270,000, and has existed since being founded by the Roman emperor [[Hadrian]]. The people of Newcastle are known as &quot;Geordies&quot; and have a distinctive accent.<br /> <br /> The New Castle for which the city was named was first established in 1080 at a strategic crossing-point of the [[River Tyne]] and a medieval borough was chartered to serve the castle. In 1400 Newcastle became 'the town and county of Newcastle upon Tyne' - that is, it was removed from the authority of the Sheriff of [[Northumberland]] and became a county in its own right. It became a city in 1882, and St Nicholas's church was elevated to become a [[cathedral]] in 1906, when the [[diocese]] of Newcastle was formed from the diocese of [[Durham]].<br /> <br /> Newcastle's prosperity was at first based upon the castle and on the export of hides, but from the early modern period coal mining and coal export grew to become a massive part of the local economy; glass-manufacture, chemicals , iron smelting, armaments manufacture and shipbuilding followed (all industries making use of the regional coal reserves).<br /> <br /> The essentially medieval streetscape of Newcastle was radically altered in the 1830s when the developer Richard Grainger (1797-1861) purchased the house and extensive grounds of Anderson Place, in the heart of the city, and there constructed several imposing modern streets in a severe classical idiom, with markets, Theatre Royal and Exchange. The architects John Dobson and John and Benjamin Green were associated with the redevelopments (the Greens designing the Theatre Royal). The two main streets, Grey Street and Grainger Street, converge on a large monument celebrating Earl Grey and the 1832 [[Reform Act]]. This district is today known as 'Grainger Town' as was the subject of an extensive refurbishment plan in the 1990s. It has the greatest concentration of listed buildings (or architectural or historical interest) of any English provincial city apart from [[Bath]].<br /> <br /> Further planned city centre redevelopment took place in the 1960s and 1970s as part of a plan devised by the regional political leader [[T. Dan Smith]] and Newcastle's head of planning, Wilfred Burns. The intent was to create in Newcastle a 'regional capital', and, with some foresight, encouraging arts, tourism and education as economic drivers. The brutalist architecture of the period has llkeft its mark on areas of the city, notably the Central Motorway (which Burns sought to celebrate as a visual feature, rather than hide) and an area of split-level development, segregating pedestrians from traffic, around the central library. Much of this latter area has since been cleared. A more valued legacy from the period is Newcastle Civic Centre, the council chamber of which was built large enough to serve as the location of a Northern regional assembly.<br /> <br /> In 1980 a rapid transit system, the [[Tyne and Wear Metro]], was opened linking the urban centres of [[Tyneside]]. This runs through the heart of the city, with five underground stations in the city centre.<br /> <br /> Since the 1990s the Quayside area, originally the commercial heart of the city but subject to increasing dereliction, has been subject to an extensive redevelopment. It is now an area of popular recreation, with prestige offices, promenades, hotels, bars, restaurants, cafes and riverside apartments, and is linked by a new bridge to the Baltic Contemporary Arts Centre and the Sage Music Centre in [[Gateshead]].<br /> <br /> Heavy industry is now a thing of the past (with the exception of turbine manufacture, a technology invented in Newcastle by [[Sir Charles Algernon Parsons]] of [[Turbinia]] fame). The economy is based on public administration (the Department of Work &amp; Pensions offices on the edge of the city are the biggest concentration of civil servants outside London), local government, food manufacture, education (the city has two higher education institutions, [[Northumbria University]] and the [[University of Newcastle upon Tyne]]), retailing, and leisure &amp; tourism. Newcastle has a thriving night life, based on clubs and bars in the Bigg Market and Quayside areas.<br /> <br /> Sport plays an important role in Newcastle, principally the local football team, [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United Football Club]], who play at St James' Park in the city centre. There is also a successful rugby union team, the [[Newcastle Falcons]], and basketball and speedway teams. Horse racing takes place at [[Gosforth]] Park, and greyhound racing and speedway at Brough Park in [[Byker]]. Newcastle is the starting point for the world's largest road race, the [[Great North Run]]. Every year in the early autumn tens of thousands of people run this half-marathon along public roads between Newcastle and [[South Shields]].<br /> <br /> Major suburbs of Newcastle include [[Benwell]] [[Byker]], [[Elswick]], [[Fenham]], [[Gosforth]], [[Heaton]], [[Jesmond]], [[Walker]], and [[Westerhope]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:United Kingdom Towns and Cities]]</div>

Although the city was bombed very heavily during [[World War II]], many of the city's walls and fortifications survive today, most notably the 'Bargate' in the city centre.<br /> <br /> It is known as the city from which the [[Mayflower]] embarked (although [[Plymouth]] was its last port of call before leaving for America.<br /> <br /> Although an important medieval port, Southampton fell into a gentle decline and only became a major centre again after the opening of the London &amp; Southampton Railway in 1840 and the subsequent decision by the London &amp; South Western Railway (successor of the L&amp;SR) to develop docks there. By the early decades of the twentieth century, it was a hub of transatlantic traffic, serving as an endpoint for the many cruise ships. The fated cruise ship [[RMS Titanic]] left from Southampton on her maiden voyage. With the advent of mass aviation, its importance has declined somewhat, but it still plays host to luxury cruise liners, in particular the [[RMS Queen Elizabeth 2|QE2]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:United Kingdom Towns and Cities]]</div>
