- Before he originally built the city now known as Newcastle, Hadrian built a wall out of stone and timber across the width of northern England. Opinions differ on the subject, but the majority of people believe that it was constructed to define the frontier of Roman land of England, and as a defendable barrier against the Scots. The city sits alongside the wall and it is still clearly visible today.

- Grainger Town is an area of Newcastle designed and built by the celebrated builder and developer Richard Grainger. It has a central conservation area of about 36 hectares which contains around four hundred and fifty buildings, of which, two hundred and forty four are listed, twenty nine are grade one and forty nine are grade two.
