John Grundy's History of Newcastle Book

John Grundy, the North East's favourite TV historian turns his attention to the history of Newcastle upon Tyne. In his inimitable style he tackles questions such as:

• Where did the Roman bridge at Newcastle actually lead to?
• What did St Wilfred choose as a holiday souvenir from his trip to Rome?
• Why did medieval Newcastle need town walls?
• How was Newcastle reviewed on the 17th century version of Trip Advisor?
• Why did the Mayor of Newcastle burn down North Shields?
• Where did Newcastle imprison the King?

Always knowledgeable, often funny and sometimes irreverent, this book will be treasured by anyone who is interested in our great regional capital.
