Pictures of Historic Newcastle upon Tyne

During the English Civil War Newcastle suffered in its support of King Charles I – who gratefully bestowed the town’s motto: “Fortiter Defendit Triumphans” or triumphing by a bold defence – and was even briefly conquered by the Earl of Leven’s Scottish army. However, its prominent trade links were soon restored and it was business as usual after the Reformation when Newcastle began to trade and export products such as iron, slate and glass. Carr’s Bank, one of the first banks to appear outside the Capital, was also opened in Newcastle in 1755.
