Walltown Crags Turret, Hadrian's Wall, former northern frontier of Roman Britain.
|
Ten chapters unfold to tell the story of the influence of the region's rivers. At first with agriculture but later natural resources were exploited. There were Viking raids, times of unrest and Civil War; troubles from north of the border (...Newcastle had to be bought from the Scots for £60,000), and there were difficult years with France and Spain.
Despite this and two world wars, the North East had become famous. A pioneering spirit of achievement prevailed to make the best and be the best. Ultimately, the book concludes with the greatest assets of all, people and biographies.

"This is also a book which will appeal to the lovers of nice things. A joy for the connoisseur and an ideal present for the discerning and curious."
Mr L.R. - Morpeth
