Gateshead, Industrial town in Tyne and Wear, England
Gateshead stands on the southern bank of the River Tyne, directly opposite Newcastle, forming a major urban center in northeast England.
The settlement emerged at the southern end of a medieval bridge across the River Tyne, growing into an industrial powerhouse during coal mining expansion.
The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art occupies a converted flour mill building, presenting international exhibitions throughout the year.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge connects pedestrians and cyclists to Newcastle, tilting to allow river traffic to pass underneath.
The Angel of the North, a steel sculpture measuring 20 meters high with wings spanning 54 meters, guards the entrance to Gateshead.
