Oliver was very active at the time and created many surveys and maps of the area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lovely engraving of The Castle adorns the top of the map - quite close to where today's St James' Park where Newcastle United play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis map looks great at all sizes: 8x10 inches (20x25cm), 12x16 inches (30x40cm) and 16x20 inches (40x50cm), but it looks even better when printed large\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options. \u003cbr\u003e The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20 inch (40x50cm) version of this map. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you’re looking for more options, I have another interesting Newcastle map by Tallis \u0026amp; Rapkin in 1581.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of Newcastle's old streets are visible, including Percy Street, Gallowgate, and Westgate. Over the river you can see Gateshead, which only consisted of a few streets back in 1830. Present day landmarks like Eldon Square are visible - but alas, 'THE NUNS' no longer exists today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterestingly there are a few 'projected streets' that were planned to be built. See if you can guess what streets they eventually became! (And some of them were never built.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis would make a wonderful birthday, work leaving, housewarming, Christmas or Father's Day gift \u003c\/span\u003efor someone from Newcastle or who has the Tyne in their heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex\/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Unique Maps Co.","offers":[{"title":"8x10in (20x25cm) \/ Map","offer_id":67742626807971,"sku":"ivh1792572020967","price":23.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10in (20x25cm) \/ Framed map","offer_id":67742626840739,"sku":"xjz1792572020968","price":64.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x16in (30x40cm) \/ Map","offer_id":67742626873507,"sku":"kbi1792572020969","price":33.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x16in (30x40cm) \/ Framed map","offer_id":67742626906275,"sku":"apx1792572020970","price":109.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x20in (40x50cm) \/ Map","offer_id":67742626939043,"sku":"ykm1792572020971","price":52.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x20in (40x50cm) \/ Framed map","offer_id":67742626971811,"sku":"cab1792572020972","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24in (45x60cm) \/ Map","offer_id":67742627004579,"sku":"mof1792572020973","price":50.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24in (45x60cm) \/ Framed map","offer_id":67742627037347,"sku":"cbi1792572020974","price":182.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/2657\/8339\/files\/old-map-of-newcastle-upon-tyne-and-gateshead-by-thomas-oliver-1830_1.jpg?v=1792572025","url":"https:\/\/www.quenvori.com\/products\/old-map-of-newcastle-upon-tyne-and-gateshead-by-thomas-oliver-1830","provider":"Quenvori Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
