Edward Street, Arthur's Hill
"When Westgate and Elswick townships became part of Newcastle in 1835 there were buildings on either side of Westgate Hill, joined on the west side by the 1826 estate of Isaac Cookson opposite the nonconformist Westgate Cemetery. Cookson named the estate after his son Arthur and the first streets were named after his other sons: John, Edward, and William." (Bygone Arthur's Hill and Westgate, by A.D.Walton, 1998 - cited by http://www.robinbt2.plus.com/arthurshill/history1.htm)
