The city of Newcastle, known for its brown ale, sits on the north side of the river Tyne. On the opposite banks is the city of Gateshead. The two cities, and a number of old shipyard towns and coal-mining villages on the rivers Tyne and Wear, form a metro area of a million people. The Federation brewery was founded by the labour unions’ welfare clubs, so that the working man could profit from his own thirst. (courtesy of Michael Jackson.)
