Why is there a picture of Stephenson's Rocket here. The Rocket didn't have anything to do with Newcastle. It was built to run at the Rainhill Trials near Liverpool on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway?. G-Man 22:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Rocket was designed and built in Newcastle, by Newcastle resident Stephenson.

The Stephenson works in Newcastle, the first loco factory in the world, is being restored by local people who have raised enormous sums. The Heritage Lottery Fund declined to assist.

Domesday Book and the Harrying of the North

This is a very good survey, but the omission of Northumberland and Durham from Domesday Book is not generally ascribed to the Harrying of the North. For taxation purposes Durham was exclusively in the hands of the Prince Bishop William of St Carileph in any case. Parts of the North East of England were covered by the 1183 'Boldon Book', which listed those areas liable to tax by the Bishop of Durham.

The idea that the Harrying of the North retarded North East prosperity for 500 (or 700 years) is not really tenable. References are made to the wealth of Newcastle in 1334 and again in 1400. The centuries-long Border Wars affected the region as a whole more than anything in the 11th century.

Newcastle-on-Tyne

I don't see Newcastle-on-Tyne in the article yet a lot of articles refer to it by this name. Was it perhaps a historic name of the city? Or maybe some common typo? Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 15:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
