Pipewellgate

Pipewellgate was a major part of early Gateshead and has been described as a separate township. If you stand looking across the river to Newcastle Pipewellgate, the road and also the name of the area stretches from, on the left of the High Level Bridge, a point not quite as far as the King Edward Railway Bridge so let's say the Metro Bridge to, on the right of the High Level Bridge, Bridge Street which is the Gateshead end of the Swing Bridge

Starting at the left you will see the road Pipewellgate which extends the entire length passing below the High Level Bridge and finishing at Bridge Street at the old Riverside Police Building. You will also see Rabbit Banks Road which further along towards the High Level Bridge becomes High Level Road
