Newcastle Castle
- In the 2nd Century AD, the Romans built a fort to protect the Pons Aelius bridge and supply route over the River Tyne.
- During the Anglo-Saxon age, the site was occupied and known as Monkchester. A cemetery was established on the site of the old Roman fort in the late 7th century.
- In 1080, Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror, began building a motte-and-bailey castle (wooden fort on an earth mound) at Monkchester, the 'New Castle', to defend the Norman England from the Scots.
- The stone Castle Keep was built between 1172 and 1177, replacing the earlier wooden fortifications.
- The Black Gate, part of a barbican, a great outer gateway to the castle, was built between 1247 and 1250.
- In the mid 13th Century the notorious Heron Pit, a dark prison next to Black Gate, was built by William Heron, 'The Hammer of the Poor'.
- In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Town Walls, were built to defend the wider settlement. Having these outer defences eventually led to the neglect of the castle, which was described as ruinous by 1589. Today the remaining Castle Keep and Black Gate are well worth a visit.
