About this title

Synopsis

A vivid, street-by-street portrait of Newcastle and the borough of Gateshead, where industry, antiquity and civic life meet. A vital local history record. Eneas Mackenzie's A Descriptive And Historical Account Of The Town And County Of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Including The Borough Of Gateshead (Volume I) lays out parishes, streets, trades and antiquities with the patient curiosity of a nineteenth-century antiquary and the clarity of a modern recorder. Equal parts victorian historical account and british local history book, it reads as an illustrated town chronicle in prose: topographical description, learned digressions and genealogical notes that have proven indispensable to family historians, social historians and students of urban change. The narrative maps churches, institutions, place-names and civic customs while tracing the pressures of commerce and industry that shaped the riverside and streetscape. Practical without dryness, the volume doubles as both an engrossing read for general interest and a rigorous local historians resource. Regarded among Eneas Mackenzie works for its scope and exactitude, this volume is central to newcastle upon tyne history and to gateshead borough heritage studies. Its painstaking entries are a ready genealogy research reference, a foundation for urban development study and a primary window onto nineteenth century England at town scale. Casual readers will find lively pictures of everyday life; scholars and family researchers will value the names, dates and references. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Prepared with the care expected by antiquarian book collectors and modern readers alike, this edition preserves the authority of the original while making it effortless to consult, securing its place among essential resources on northeast England 1800s civic history. Whether consulted for family-tree research, municipal essays or to savour the voice of a learned Victorian chronicler, Volume I rewards patient reading and long-term reference.
