The Walled Coal Town of Newcastle, 1400

Newcastle in 1400 is a walled riverside borough centred on its royal castle and the great church of St Nicholas, a busy entrepôt for coal, wool and Baltic trade. This walk follows the river and the steep chares up to the castle and town walls, passing friaries, markets and the bridge piled with houses and a chapel.

36 scenes — 23 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Newcastle upon Tyne as it stood in 1400 (“History of Newcastle upon Tyne”).
