John Grundy's History of Newcastle | Part of Siege & Conquest weekend
Free talk, taking place in Newcastle Castle's Black Gate, as part of Siege & Conquest: Time Travel Weekend.
This event is FREE however you must also purchase a standard admission ticket from Newcastle Castle on the day to be permitted entry.
To celebrate the release of John Grundy's History of Newcastle (Tyne Bridge Publishing), the North East's favourite TV historian will repeat the sell-out talk he gave at the Black Gate this summer. In his inimitable style he tackles questions such as
Where did the Roman bridge at Newcastle actually lead to?
What did St Wilfred choose as a holiday souvenir from his trip to Rome?
Why did medieval Newcastle need town walls?
How was Newcastle reviewed on the 17th century version of TripAdvisor?
Always knowledgeable, often funny and sometimes irreverent, this talk is perfect for anyone who is passionate about our great regional capital.
Copies of John Grundy's History of Newcastle will be available to buy at this event priced at £10.
This talk takes place in the Black Gate, which is fully accessible to wheelchair users.
