I grew up in Tynemouth, and this video tells me nothing. Very disappointing.

Superb!

Thank you for the many hours of work you've put into all your excellent posts.

So Tommy Brown did the deed but a Cresswell rascal got the credit!

Some big names in that list of rascals. Depriving the king of his revenue was risky.

As a child I looked for Dial Cottage every time i visited my grandparents who lived nearby. It fascinated me that such a great man had such a simple cottage. It is a jewel of Geordie heritage and I am staggered it is now in private hands and may be used for commercial gain.

Wait, King Neptune wantons WITH his dolphins? 😱

Thanks so much for this. I'm in awe of the depth and range of your research.

Growing up near the Roman Wall I always used to wonder why the wall ended at Wallsend. Surely attackers could cross the river between there and the sea? There must have been some military presence on the north bank to stop this. There is a theory that a turf wall was built from Wallsend to Tynemouth.

The square-rigged foremast makes her a brigantine, not a schooner.

Tynemouth Priory is the exactly where you'd expect to find a temple to the wind god.

Nowts changed...

Pen can also mean 'end' and what Leland writes may be 'pen y ' like Pen y ghent in Yorkshire. Pen can also be associated with a boundary. There is a house by a bridge on a parish boundary in Shropshire called Pen y Bont. It means literally 'end the bridge' ie the bridge is at the end of the territory.

I now live in Bulgaria, but 35 years ago had a house in Tynemouth. Did the inhabitants of Tynemouth have problems with Newcastle people? Yes, absolutely. We, Tynemouth people were an absolute cut above the Newcastle hoi polloi. Now I know where this all came from.

Baile meaning town in Irish/Gaelic might have some connection to bailey, vallum. It's hard to explain why this word exists when there doesn't appear to be a Welsh cognate. There is an Irish cognate for Welsh tref though - treabh, which can also refer to ploughing. So baile might be a loan from Latin via the Normans.

I don't understand. An introduction would be useful.

All the illegals will need food.

There is a Roman ruin in South Shields.

Very interesting.

Very interesting video. One point though, the 'pen' in peninsula is from Latin meaning almost, therefore peninsula means 'almost island'. As such I doubt that it is related to pen or ben meaning head or mountain etc'.

My father's family came from South Shields,England to Canada in the early 1900's.

Interesting. Thank you.

Is it common for names to be part Brythonic and part Germanic in that part of the world? Urfa looks, superficially, Brythonic to me, as a Welsh speaker,, especially because of the -fa (pronounced Vah, from -man, a place), which denotes a 'place' in Welsh, e.g. Allanfa, mynedfa, Exit and Entrance (literally: out place and in place), porfa (a pasture). -fa can also make a root word refer to a state of being, (make a word into an adjective) etc. E.g. Cyrchfa - Cyrch means to march, Cyrchfa = an assault. Lladdfa - Lladd means to kill, Lladdfa = a slaughter. Helfa - Hel means to collect, Helfa = a hunt. The Ur is a bit trickier. Apparently, in names like Urien (a Brittonic king associated with Cumbria), the Ur, pronounced sort of like ir (I as in kit, as opposed to an ee sound) means Noble. Ur could also be a shortened form of the word Urdd, which means 'order', I.e. Order of the Phoenix. The f (v sound in welsh) from fa might have supplanted the dd sound (dd = the Th in The, this, that) Seems weird that they'd have half an half names. Caerurfa could mean something like The Fort of the Noble Place.

good work lad
