Newcastle-under-Lyme is a busy market town in Staffordshire, England, not to be confused with the larger city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is about 26 miles north of the county town of Stafford. The town sits around 5 miles west of neighbouring city Stoke-on-Trent, although the suburbs of the town run into those of the city. Newcastle is often unofficially considered to be an affluent suburb of the city of Stoke-on-Trent, both form part of an area known as The Potteries. Newcastle-under-Lyme has a population of 74,427. The larger borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme has a population of 122,000. The town was selected for the campus of University College of North Staffordshire in 1949, which was granted full university status as Keele University in 1962. Also on the campus is Keele Science Park. The town thus serves as a 'campus town' for the University and also for the adjacent University Hospital of North Staffordshire. Newcastle's industries include: construction materials, apparel, computers, publishing, electric motors, and machinery. In 1944, the Rolls-Royce Derwent jet engine for the Gloster Meteor were made here. Nearby towns include Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Crewe, Nantwich, Kidsgrove, Leek, Biddulph, Alsalger, Congleton.
