Ancient routeway from Carlisle through a gap in the Pennines made by the River Tyne and following the Roman Wall into Newcastle. The first reference to "Westgate" is 1163-80). There was a Nevyll Inne on Westgate in 1441. It was important enough to merit a gateway in the town walls (the West Gate HER 1528) when they were built in the late C13. On the south side of Westgate was the Hospital of St Mary the Virgin of C12 date (HER 1502) and on the opposite side, was St John's Church (HER 1481). Bourne describes Westgate Street as "retired" (quiet) because there were no industries in this street. It was a residential street with large houses for the clergy and gentry (including the Earl of Westmorland and the Bishop of Carlisle, Lady Clavering, Utrick Whitfield Esq, Thomas Ord, Mr Abraham Dixon, George Grey). Construction of a toll road from Carlisle to Newcastle - commonly called the Military Road - on the same alignment as the ancient route, began in 1751. This was a belated response to the second Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, when a lack of serviceable east-west communication prevented the Royal army based at Newcastle from relieving the besieged town of Carlisle. Despite protests from the antiquarian William Stukeley the road was partly built over Hadrian's Wall (which survives under Hexham Road and is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument). Within the medieval town walls the street became a prime residential area in the 18th century, attracting many grand houses and the new Assembly Rooms. Westgate Road is the only ancient radial road into Newcastle that still penetrates to the heart of the City, all others have been diverted by major road works in the later C20. Oliver describes Westgate Street as "long airy and genteel". Dated C12th.

Throckley Quarry. The 2nd edition OS mapping shows an expansion of the quarry. Atkinson's book of 1980 shows a photograph of a "dandy cart" from Throckley Quarry, where local clay was quarried and burnt to a good quality brick. There is also a drawing in Tomlinson's book on the NER. Clay was moved by wagon, and the empty wagons returned to the quarry by horse. To spare the horse a long walk behind the loaded wagons, it was trained to ride behind in a dandy cart or horse-wagon, originally designed by George Stephenson for the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1828. Throckley Wagonway used one until 1907. A surviving example of a dandy cart from Throckley is now at Beamish Museum.
