DISCOVER OUR CITY

Secret Newcastle THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT OUR CITY

Newcastle is known for many things; its nightlife, the Geordie accent, a collection of bridges, friendly folk and an industrial heritage. You may think you know the city like the back of your hand, but we bet we could teach you a thing or two! The team behind the city’s first build-to-rent apartment development, The Forge, popped over some hidden gems and under-the-radar cultural must-sees, foodie treats and low-key bars; and we just thought they were too good not to share with our readers! Check out the secrets of NE1...

A DOUGHNUT CAFÉ EXISTS Yes that’s right, doughnut lovers rejoice! Proven Goods Co. are the makers of handmade doughnuts which have won over those with a sweet tooth in recent years, popping up at the Quayside Market and various coffee shops. The bakery is based in Hoult’s Yard and opens Wednesday to Sunday, where you can stock up on your favourite flavours, whether it’s rhubarb jam and vanilla custard or ‘The Homer’ which is a take on the classic Simpsons doughnut - d'oh! TEA-RRIFIC TEAHOUSENewcastle may not have a Bettys Tea Room, but the city still loves its tea, no more so than

at Quilliam Brothers Teahouse near Haymarket. Over two floors, you can sit down to a brew, choosing from over 60 different types of loose-leaf tea. Plus it’s open until midnight Monday to Saturday, so it doesn’t matter what time you have a craving for a good cuppa! Go here for your toon tea fix!

SAY CHEERS IN A ‘SPEAKEASY’ BAR Newcastle certainly knows its cocktails and you’re never far from a bar, but there’s something exciting about lesser-known places and their exclusivity. Tucked away behind Bierrex on Pilgrim Street lies The Poison Cabinet. Its ever-evolving drinks menu is filled with potions, aperitifs and digestifs which you certainly won’t find anywhere else in the city! THE MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE QUAYSIDE SHOTWe all know the Quayside is amazingly photogenic, lined with its bridges, mix of old and new buildings and quirky features. It's a great location for happy snapping, but there’s a certain spot where you can take the best shot of the Quayside stretch and we’ll tell you where. Head to the Free Trade Inn and climb the stairs, then wow - what a view! Well worth the climb and definitely picture-perfect. Oh-so Instagrammable!

GO CLIMBING... AND SHOP intu Eldon Square is known as the city’s main shopping centre, but it has a climbing experience too. Why not try something different and take on the challenge of the 19 climbing towers and get your adrenaline pumping? You’ll find Vertigo Adventure Climbing upstairs within the Eldon Leisure zone.

YOU CAN GET CANDYFLOSS HOT CHOCOLATE New to the city’s brunch scene is The

Dispensary, which has opened its doors on Heber Street. It’s a quirky coffee house which will soon be launching white chocolate candyfloss hot chocolate, a true Instagrammer’s dream.

NEWCASTLE ACTUALLY HAS ITS OWN CASTLE Known as the gateway to Old Newcastle, not many people know that Newcastle Castle is standing proud in the Castle Garth area of the city. It’s open for the public to explore seven days a week and you can even climb up to stand on the rooftop, where the views of the city are amazing. The castle also hosts film nights in its Great Hall from horrors to family favourites. From history to food and film events, there's something for everyone. A BOOK LOVER’S DREAMThe Lit & Phil is home to over 170,000 books and you’ve probably walked past it many times and not even realised! Rooted on Westgate Road not far from Central Station, it’s been open for almost 200 years since 1825. You can become a member and use the space plus borrow books regularly, but even if you don’t join, it’s a stunning building so definitely worth a look around!

The Forge is a build-to-rent apartment development standing tall on Forth Banks in Newcastle. Once complete, it will comprise 283 one, two and three-bedroom pet-friendly apartments set across three blocks, with unrivalled facilities and amenities. Apartments are ready to move into now. For more information and to arrange a show apartment viewing, visit the website the-forge-newcastle.co.uk, email [email protected] or call 0191 917 1960.

Not your cup of tea?



Snowstorm brainwave Gladstone Adams from Whitley Bay was, amongst many other roles, the official

photographer for Newcastle United Football Club from the 1920s to the 1950s.

In April 1908 he set off on an epic car journey to London to see Newcastle play in the FA cup final. The speed limit at the time was 20 miles per hour, so it took him some

time and the journey in itself caught so much attention that they displayed the car in

a shop window! Newcastle lost 3-1 to Wolves, and as he

drove back, to top it all, it began to snow. He stopped many times to clear snow

from the windscreen of his 1904 Darraq, prompting him to create his prototype

windscreen wiper, now held at the Discovery Museum, which could be operated either by hand or foot of the driver, or automatically.

He was awarded a patent for it in April 1911 but he never manufactured his idea.

Mr Adams was a fascinating person of whom it is said that, as a photographic

officer in the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War, he found the body of Baron Von Richthofen, “the Red Baron”, and helped to

arrange his funeral. Learn about the collections Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums cares for by visiting
