Robinson Peter Sutherland
Robinson Peter Sutherland (1820 – ) was a 19th-century English author, poet and songwriter in Tyneside. Between the years of 1824 and 1860, the centre of old Newcastle was basically demolished and rebuilt as a result of Richard Grainger's town planning exercise. The result was wider and cleaner streets, more attractive places of commerce and business, repositioning of the old traditional markets, and a loss of the old smelly slum areas, but also the loss of many historical areas, town walls and gates, etc. and tradition. Most of Sutherland's songs laments the passing of the 'old toon' or the similar changes which took place to the riverside areas. Works * "Newcassel as it was, an' as it's noo" - The first sign of his work appeared in 1842 when he published a book of his own works entitled "Geordy Brown's Budget of Laughables", a book of 19 pages containing "A Collection of Original Comic Songs, Medleys, & Recitations in the Newcastle Dialect".

Geordie Dialect Words
Geordie () is a nickname for a person from the Tyneside area of North East England, and the dialect used by its inhabitants, also known in linguistics as Tyneside English or Newcastle English. There are different definitions of what constitutes a Geordie. The term is used and has been historically used to refer to the people of the North East. A Geordie can also specifically be a native of Tyneside (especially Newcastle upon Tyne) and the surrounding areas. Not everyone from the North East of England identifies as a Geordie. Geordie is a continuation and development of the language spoken by Anglo-Saxon settlers, initially employed by the ancient Brythons to fight the Pictish invaders after the end of Roman rule in Britain in the 5th century. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes who arrived became ascendant politically and culturally over the native British through subsequent migration from tribal homelands along the North Sea coast of mainland Europe.

People From Newcastle Upon Tyne (district)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
