The North East region of England has a unique mix of natural and manmade landscapes, has been at the crossroads of three major cultures and has seen the massive growth of the industrial revolution in the 19th century followed by decline in the late 20th century. The natural beauty of the rolling hills of the Cheviots and its spectacular coastline provide tourists with a near-idyllic calm and sense of peace. This contrasts strongly with the shipyards, collieries, factories and petrochemical plants of the Tyne, Wear and Tees rivers. The North East has produced great scholars, industrialists, aristocrats and sportsmen. This book will provide a little insight into all the elements that go to make this a vibrant, exciting, beautiful and historic place.
