Newcastle historic wall (#1178)
Remains of the Newcastle Town wall, construction of which apparently began in about 1265, initially to keep out invading Scots. The wall successfully kept the Scots out in 1342 and 1388 but as border wars with Scotland lessened, the wall was allowed to deteriorate. It was strengthened again in the 1700’s in response to the Jacobite rebellions, but then declined after that with sections being demolished to allow for growth – though there were repairs during the Napoleonic wars. (See the Wikipedia for more detail)
The section in this and nearby pictures is the longest remaining section and is described as the West Wall. Pictured here is the Herber tower, the opening in the wall for the road is a later remodeling.
