Wallsend – United Kingdom

 

About Wallsend

Wallsend is a town in North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England, located near the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall. A little over three and a half miles (5.5 km) east of Newcastle upon Tyne, this city is home to 43,842 people.

Site of the Roman fort of Segedunum. Hadrian’s Wall was guarded by this fort since it did not finish at the fort’s western wall but rather continued around its south-eastern corner all the way to the banks of the River Tyne. David Breeze states, “John Buddle the Younger, as a youngster swimming in the river in the early nineteenth century, had often observed the Wall foundations reaching far into the river,” referencing a statement made by historian Bruce.

Once the Romans left the Wall, the Picts invaded from the north, and then the Angles began making land and sea raids from their base around the mouth of the River Elbe. It’s likely that Wallsend was damaged when Ida the Saxon ravaged the northern half of England in 547.
