‘Since man uttered his first word he has been telling stories for entertainment, to serve as warnings and to simply pass the time.’ Huddled up against the end of Hadrian’s Wall, the county of Tyne and Wear is known for its wealth of historical sites, for castles, the Venerable Bede, and stotty cakes.
