Gateshead has often been portrayed as the ‘poor relative’ in comparison to its larger and more glamorous Tyneside neighbour, Newcastle. But Gateshead has a long and proud industrial and social history, much of which has sadly gone, but in recent years there has been a revival in Gateshead’s social and cultural infrastructure, which has placed it firmly on the tourist map. The twentieth and twenty-first centuries wrought huge changes on Gateshead, but traces of the town s fascinating history are visible to the enquiring eye. Local author Rob Kirkup delves into the past in this unique approach to the town s history, blending dark deeds and strange tales with long-forgotten facts and amusing stories, seeking out Gateshead s many hidden secrets.
