Newcastle Monopoly

Product Information

There were two main constraints to the development of shipbuilding on the Tyne, the Guilds and the River Tyne itself.

The company was being formed " . . . to carry coals by steam colliers constructed to take large cargoes with light draught of water which will make their passages regularly throughout the yearensuring a supply at moderate prices." At the time of the launch the Lort Burn was tidal and navigable for some way towards what is now Grey Street. To give some idea of how many ships were involved in this trade it is interesting to see an item in the Newcastle Courant for 09/01/1830 which reported that 72 colliers had cleared the Tyne in the previous week. Cosplay, comic book and anime fans are in for a treat next year with Comic Con returning to Newcastle. We will launch at Utilita Arena Newcastle and then we will be moving into a brand new state of the art home at the Sage ICC across the river. We want to build this event into a solid sell out and make this into another one of our flagship Monopoly shows, for all our fans in the North East!Pub crawls have become synonymous with uni students and can somewhat act as a right of passage for many; from the Otley Run in Leeds to the Monopoly Crawl in London, they offer variation and a non-stop party; but all are inferior against the Newcastle Metro pub crawl.

Prior to the Reformation, most of the north-eastern coal deposits were in the hands of the monasteries. The monasteries leased out land for mining but generally set limits on the rate of extraction so as to keep the price high. This meant that the production of coal stayed at a constant level. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, the coal deposits fell into private hands and the restrictions on output disappeared. The yearly rate of extraction increased from approximately 15,000 tons prior to the Reformation, to 162,000 in 1603, to 239,000 in 1609 and to 425,000 in 1634, nearly all for export from the Tyne. Coal was exported to London and other parts of England, but also to Holland, France and Flanders. Coal became by far the most valuable local commodity. As with other traded items, coal could only move through the city of Newcastle if its buying and selling were handled by the town's burgesses. The Hostmen had formed a group within the Company of Merchant Adventurers of Newcastle to exploit this monopoly. In practice, the Hostmen owned the "keels", large boats that were used to transfer the coal from the riverbank to the waiting colliers that were moored downstream. The men who worked these boats were known as " keelmen". The keelmen led a very precarious existence, being paid casually, and they were regarded with distrust by the Hostmen with whom they were often in dispute.

In 1637 Charles I, in an attempt to raise revenue, doubled the tax on Tyneside coal in return for allowing the Hostmen to regulate production and set the price of the coal. The London coal importers and the East Anglian ship-owners were outraged and resolved to boycott Tyneside coal. As a result, the price of coal rose and the royal revenues dropped. Charles was forced to cancel the Hostmen's monopoly. When the Scots rose in 1639 against Charles' introduction of the English Prayer Book into Scotland, the anti-royalist London merchants encouraged the invading Scots to capture Newcastle. This they did in 1640, totally disrupting the export of coal. The Scottish army remained in Newcastle for a year and charged the Corporation a regular fee for billeting its troops.

In 1774 it was said that the Tyne Conservancy Board had allowed the river to be, from ignorance , inattention and avarice, converted into a cursed horsepond. The driving force for shipbuilding was coal. The coastal transportation of coal had its roots in the Middle Ages, if not before.

Some freemen therefore opened yards nearer to the mouth of the river, not at Shields but at Howdon instead.

Small wooden cargo ships called Keels were used to move coal on the River Tyne, taking loose coal from the upriver pits to the river mouth where the coal was loaded onto larger seagoing vessels.
