Wallsend

In the occasional dry, hot summers which occur, it is, however, delightful to adventure forth in the West Country or in Cumberland or even in the Highlands.

One or two jaunts are very attractive, for instance, to tramp the old Roman wall from Carlisle to Wallsend at Newcastle, or to tramp the Scottish border from Berwick to the Solway.

One passes over remarkably wild and desolate country.

I think especially of the track from Jedburgh to Newcastleton and a forlorn district called, if I remember rightly, Not of the Hill, which, however, is very much of the hill.

He's got...

So he did this musical, he wrote this musical in 2013 called The Last Ship, based on his childhood memories of growing up in Wallsend, and, uh, it's been on Broad- you know, it then went on Broadway, it toured America, it's toured the UK, and it's been adapted and it's back in the, the West End.

So he came in to talk about it.

And just before we started he said, "Oh yeah," he said, "I, I, uh, I really, I really..." I think he either said, "I really like" or "I love," uh, "the film show you do."

The first syllable of Carlisle denotes a Celtic fortified town, and must be compared with the first syllable of Carnarvon.

The presence of the Roman wall is shown in many names in Northumberland, such as Wallsend, Walltown, Wallridge, Heddon-on-the-Wall, Wallhouses, and Thirlwall.

For a very interesting instance of what a name tells us, we may leave the border for a moment and consider why the northernmost part of Scotland is called Sutherland.

It must have been so named by people living in the Orkney and Shetland Isles of a different race from the Scotch, that is, North settlers in those islands.

What are your thoughts on this, fellas? Cheers, Hansie." I'll tell you an A-grade, Hansie.

I was coming back from Newcastle, and as I mentioned, I met the lovely Chris from Wallsend.

So I'm in a good mood meeting him and his family, and I'm on the M one.

I'm heading south.

And the strange events had begun years before Drury ever decided to spend a night there.

Willington Mill stood close to the River Tyne between Wallsend and North Shields beside the narrow waterway known as Willington Gut.

The flour mill itself was an impressive industrial building, rising several stories above the surrounding site and powered by steam at a time when this was still relatively unusual in the Northeast.

It had originally been owned by the Unthank family, and in 1829, their cousin, Joseph Proctor, a Quaker businessman, became involved with the operation.

No, I'm, I'm, because my character is kind of like, you know, they had a lot of, of immigrants that worked within the shipyards and stuff like that.

Yeah, yeah, in Wallsend.

So I'm kind of a ghost.

All right.
