Newcastle on the river Tyne
We started looking at Hadrian’s Wall by visiting Newcastle where it began. A very active seaport on the North Sea. It later was a large exporting site for coal and wool. It has a magnificent music hall called Gateshead that looks a little like a giant grub! The city has a great website showing many places: <https://www.visitnortheastengland.com/places/newcastle/>
