Description: | Ralph Beilby engraved this plan of Newcastle and Gateshead in 1788 for John Brand's 'History and Antiquities of Newcastle'. It is based on Dr Charles Hutton's map of 1769. Interestingly, Beilby's map shows only one bridge over the River Tyne. The floods of 1771 had wiped away other bridges. Many streets are recognisable today, including Westgate Street (now Road), The Side, Dean Street and Pilgrim Street. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1788 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Ralph Beilby | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
