Gateshead
Gateshead is a large town in Tyne and Wear, England, and the main settlement in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. Part of County Durham until the creation of Tyne and Wear in 1974, the town lies on the southern bank of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle upon Tyne. Gateshead and Newcastle are joined by seven bridges across the Tyne, including the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The town is known for its architecture, including the Sage Gateshead, the Angel of the North and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. Residents of Gateshead, like the rest of Tyneside, are referred to as Geordies. Gateshead's population in 2011 was 66,382.〔Gateshead is made up of the Bridges, Pelaw and Heworth, Dunston and Teams, Felling, Lobley Hill and Bensham, Deckham and Saltwell Electorial wards http://ukcensusdata.com/gateshead-e08000020#sthash.gldLdvjw.dpbs〕
==Etymology==
Gateshead is first mentioned in Latin translation in Bede's ''Ecclesiastical History of the English People'' as ''ad caput caprae'' 'at the goat's head'. This interpretation is consistent with the later English attestations of the name, among them ''Gatesheued'' (c. 1190), literally 'goat's head' but in the context of a place-name meaning 'headland or hill frequented by (wild) goats'. Although other derivations have been mooted, it is this that is given by the standard authorities.〔Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).〕
