300***74:“From Durham, we took a bus north to Newcastle. Compared with Durham Village, Newcastle is a big city. At Durham Railway Station, I also saw several students going to Newcastle for dinner. The train arrived in about ten minutes. Here I actually saw the city wall, Hadrian's Wall. In fact, this is the northernmost border of the British province of the Roman Empire. It is similar to the city wall in China, both of which are used to defend against invasions from the north. Along the Tyne River from west to east is the entrance to the sea. In those days, the King of England built some castles here, consisting of a wooden spire main building and an earthen outer wall. New Castle is the source of the name Newcastle.”

ken_travel:“This is a street with a good location, close to St James' Park, the main stadium of Newcastle Football Team, and Newcastle Business College, where most of the students are Chinese. It is also close to Monument in the city center. Some products in the Chinese supermarket in the neighborhood are not available elsewhere, and the business is very good. Some restaurants require you to take the elevator to go upstairs to eat, which is rare here, which shows that the commercial density here is greater than the surrounding areas. There is also a Chinese medicine clinic. The most conspicuous is the city wall, which is left by a former large lead pigment products factory.”

TheForkUser:“Changes noticed this week (different to last week) - the Yorkshire puddings have improved; the size of the meat portion has reduced and the gravy was lumpy. Overall the meal was good despite the former comments. Regrettably, the ambience was spoiled by some very noisy children but the service and staff were courteous and polite.”
