Newcastle upon Tyne played
an important role in the Industrial Revolution
predominantly in shipbuilding and its
industrial heritage continues today.
Its
industrial past is celebrated in a number of
museums such as the Museum of Science and
Technology, the Joicey Museum and the
Blackgate Museum. |
Today, it is
also rapidly
becoming a
modern cultural
centre for the
arts. There are
a large number
of historic
buildings in
Newcastle,
including the
ruins of the
city's eleventh
century castle
built by William
the Conqueror's
son Robert
Cuthous as well
as the St.
Nicholas
Cathedral, one
of the smallest
cathedrals in
England, built
in 1488.
