111 Places along the Tyne & Wear Metro That You Shouldn't Miss
Travel Guide
111 Places Along the Tyne and Wear Metro That You Shouldn't Miss takes readers beyond the region's famous landmarks, from Hadrian's Wall to the iconic Tyne Bridge, and reveals the stories that make Tyne and Wear unique.
Following the Metro's 60 stations, this guide uncovers incredible tales of local characters, from eccentric residents and wild Victorian industrialists to imprisoned kings and missing bones. Readers can discover bizarre follies and hidden histories: the miner who dynamited a cave home into a cliffside to avoid paying rent, the warren of tunnels built beneath Newcastle in just two years, and the Wearside links to American independence. They can visit a Greek-style temple outside Sunderland, the site of the first incandescent lightbulb demonstration, the world's oldest operating railway, atmospheric monasteries, haunted castles, historic waggonways and the secrets of Tyneside's seaside towns.
From city to coast — and even a vampire rabbit — every place is reachable by Metro.
