I've been told Dog Leap Stairs are so called because they led to the old butchers area of the Town, and all the mutts would congregate there for any scraps. Silver Street, the remains of which run between the Tax Offices and the circular church at our end of the Tyne Bridge( St. Marys? Anyone), was unsurprisingly the street where the silversmiths plyed there trade. The vast majority of these silversmiths were Jewish. I'd be interested to see if the current Hacidic community in Gateshead are the descendants of what was once a sizeable Jewish community in Old Newcastle?

One of the first examples of prisoners being used as human shields occurred in our fair city. I forget the exact details, but the Jocks had us under siege and began firing canon at the Keep. We had several of their top boys as prisoners, and they were tied to the West Wall of the keep , in view of the attacking jocks. No more canon, the keep survived, the siege was broken. Don't fuck with the Geordies

The quayside 'Chares', Broad Chare, Peppercorn Chare etc. are what remains of old docks along the river dating back to Roman times. When the Law Courts were being built, the car park at the back was excavated and the old Medieval and Roman quays were uncovered. The 'chares' are the bits the ships would pull in to. If they came in empty, they'd tip their ballast over the side, and gradually the docks filled up and became unusable. Some of the older buildings down there are the long narrow warehouses which were built on the jettys coming out into the river e.g. The Wetherspoons next to the BT centre.
