Description: | This 1736 map was drawn for the local historian the Reverend Henry Bourne. At this time, Newcastle was still enclosed by its medieval town wall, with its seven gates. The main roads are Pilgrim Street on the right of the town, the Side leading to Newgate Street in the centre, and Westgate Street on the left. The large estate owned by Sir Walter Blackett can be seen at the top of Pilgrim Street. Nuns Gardens refers to the Convent of St Barthomew that stood there until the mid-16th century. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East art makers Gateshead Newcastle men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
