Gateshead didn't exist back then. But did spend the best part of 1,000 years in County Durham. Tyne and Wear only existed for a couple of years before becoming a postal county (which the Royal Mail stopped using about a decade ago).Gateshead hasn't been in County Durham for 45 years. It's in Tyne and Wear, same as Newcastle and Sunderland.
We could always go back to the original Kingdom of Northumbria if we want to add a few more landmarks?
