WHOOSH! Newcastle & Car Finance
The Newcastle Story
Newcastle, named for the 'New Castle' built by Robert Curthose in 1080, has been the North East's beating heart for nearly a millennium. The city's fortune was built on coal - 'taking coals to Newcastle' became proverbial because the black gold flowed from Tyneside worldwide. The iconic Tyne Bridge, opened in 1928, symbolized industrial might and connected communities separated by the river. Geordies built ships, mined coal, and crafted glass, their labor powering Britain's empire. When heavy industry collapsed in the 1980s, Newcastle could have died. Instead, it reinvented itself through determination and that famous Geordie spirit. The Baltic Flour Mill became an art gallery, the Quayside transformed into nightlife heaven, and the Sage brought culture to Gateshead. Today's Newcastle - consistently voted UK's friendliest city - shows how working-class pride and humor can overcome anything. Transport connects Tyneside communities from South Shields to Durham.
