The North East England Portal

Shortcut

North-east England is a region in the United Kingdom, comprising Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, the Tees Valley and a small part of North Yorkshire.

The principal city of the region is Newcastle upon Tyne; the region's other cities are Sunderland and Durham. Middlesbrough is another large town. Conversely, Northumberland (to the north of all these cities) is England's most sparsely-populated county; it contains the highest point in the North East, The Cheviot, at 815m.

The region has a rich natural heritage, and includes the Northumberland National Park. The North East has several different accents (the Northern English dialect). A referendum, held on 4 November 2004, rejected the establishment of an elected regional assembly for the region.

Selected picture

Gateshead lies on the southern bank of the River Tyne. Its quayside was historically a busy industrial port, but is now a centre for culture; both the Sage Gateshead and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art are visible in this picture. Originally part of County Durham, Gateshead became part of the county of Tyne and Wear in 1974 and together with Newcastle upon Tyne on the north bank they form the urban core of the Tyneside conurbation. Gateshead and Newcastle are joined by seven bridges across the Tyne; the silhouettes of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the Tyne Bridge and the High Level Bridge are visible here.

Henderson playing for Liverpool in 2022

Jordan Brian Henderson MBE (born 17 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club Ajax and the England national team. He is noted for his leadership, versatility, and physicality.

Henderson joined the Sunderland Academy at the age of eight, making his first-team debut a decade later in November 2008. He spent six months on loan at Coventry City in 2009, before returning to Sunderland. In 2011, Henderson signed for Liverpool, winning his first trophy with the club, the League Cup, one year later. Appointed Liverpool captain in 2015, Henderson won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2019, and in 2020 led his team to the Premier League title. For his performances in the title-winning season, Henderson was named FWA Footballer of the Year. In 2022, Henderson won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, with Liverpool beating Chelsea on penalties in both finals.

An England international, Henderson has over 80 appearances for his country since his debut in 2010. He has appeared at six international tournaments with England, the 2012, 2016 and 2020 UEFA European Championships and the 2014, 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups. He was the first player to win the England Player of the Year award at both the U-21 and senior level. (Full article...)
