About Gateshead - show infohide info
Gateshead is a town in Tyne and Wear in north-east England on the south side of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle upon Tyne which covers the North Bank. It is the main settlement in the metropolitan borough of Gateshead. Gateshead and Newcastle are linked by ten bridges which are shared by the two towns. Gateshead, for many years overshadowed, culturally and in repute, by its near neighbour Newcastle upon Tyne has taken enterprising steps to change matters. The MetroCentre and the International Stadium were a start, and more recently riverside redevelopments include the exquisite Gateshead Millennium Bridge, erected in 2001. It is a 'winking eye' bridge, unique in the world. As well as being a triumph of engineering skill, its great elegance won it the James Stirling prize for architecture in 2002. Close by, the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art has been established in a converted flour mill. The Sage Gateshead, a Norman Foster-designed venue for music and the performing arts opened on 17 December 2004. Towns near to Gateshead include Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sunderland, Washington, South Shields, Jarrow and Chester-le-Street.
