NEWBURN, Newburn is a semi rural village, parish, electoral ward and former urban
NEWBURN, Newburn is a semi rural village, parish, electoral ward and former urban district in western Tyne and Wear, North East England. Situated on the banks of the River Tyne, it is built rising up the valley from the river. Historically, the town was larger than Newcastle upon Tyne as it was the most eastern fordable point of the River Tyne. The area has Roman remains, and a Norman church dating from 1070 AD. In 1640, the Battle of Newburn took place. The village grew with the Industrial Revolution with the discovery of coal, and in 1822 Spencers Steelworks was opened, which grew to a size which led the village to be known colloquially as New Sheffield, after the town famed for its steel making prowess. The towns steelworks fell into decline after the First World War. UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque village of Newburn, located in western Tyne and Wear, North East England. Nestled along the banks of the River Tyne, Newburn exudes a semi-rural charm as it gracefully ascends from the river valley. Steeped in history, this former urban district was once larger than Newcastle upon Tyne due to its strategic position as the most eastern fordable point of the River Tyne. The image captures not only the natural beauty of Newburn but also highlights its rich historical heritage. Roman remains and a Norman church dating back to 1070 AD stand as testaments to its ancient past. The Battle of Newburn in 1640 further adds to its storied legacy. During the Industrial Revolution, Newburn experienced significant growth with the discovery of coal. The opening of Spencers Steelworks in 1822 propelled further development and earned it colloquial fame as "New Sheffield" reminiscent of another renowned steel-making town. As seen through this enchanting nineteenth-century engraved image, which beautifully combines illustrative technique with retro styling, we are transported back in time to witness an era when Victorian arts and culture flourished. This vintage print serves as a visual reminder of Newburn's fascinating journey through history.
