You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Historic counties of England|Historically]] in [[Northumberland]], Elswick became part of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1835. Elswick is home to the [[Utilita Arena Newcastle|Newcastle Utilita Arena]]; and [[Newcastle College]], with approximately 45,000 students.

==History==

In Roman times the [[Vallum (Hadrian's Wall)|Vallum]], a defensive barrier behind [[Hadrian's Wall]], reached its easternmost limit in Elswick. The Wall itself carried on as far as [[Wallsend]].

The township of Elswick had originally formed part of the Barony of Bolam and was owned by [[Tynemouth Priory]] from 1120-1539, with a fishery present on the site.<ref name="newcastle2">((cite web|title=Elswick 'Where I live'|url=http://elswick.newcastle.gov.uk/|website=Newcastle Ward website|publisher=Newcastle City Council|access-date=22 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729021616/http://elswick.newcastle.gov.uk/|archive-date=29 July 2014|url-status=dead))</ref> One of the earliest references to the coal mining industry of the north east occurs in 1330, when it was recorded that the Prior of Tynemouth let a [[colliery]], called Heygrove, at "Elstewyke" for a rent of £5 per year. Elswick Colliery had 3 pits working from 1860 onwards.<ref>((cite web|title=Elswick Colliery - DMM|url= http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/e023.htm))</ref>  Elswick was owned by the Crown from 1539 to 1628, until it was sold by [[Charles I of England|Charles I]].

The Priors held a mansion in the middle of Elswick which was later occupied by Elswick Hall. Having been rebuilt a number of times, the last rebuild took place in 1810. The grounds of Elswick Hall became Elswick Park in 1881.<ref>[https://www.newcastle.gov.uk/leisure-libraries-and-tourism/parks-and-countryside/elswick-park] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929044840/https://www.newcastle.gov.uk/leisure-libraries-and-tourism/parks-and-countryside/elswick-park|date=29 September 2013))</ref>  Elswick changed significantly in the late 19th century with the extension of the [[Newcastle & Carlisle Railway|railway from Carlisle to Newcastle]] in 1839 and the establishment of Armstrong's manufacturing works in 1847.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/special-collections/exhibitions/current-and-past-exhibitions/armstrong/elswick/|title=Exhibitions|website=www.ncl.ac.uk))</ref> Population increased rapidly during this period, from about 300 in 1801 to 59,165 in 1901.<ref>((cite web |last1=Morton |first1=David |title=Charting the rise of Elswick in Newcastle over time |url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/history/tour-elswick-newcastle-through-years-12755231 |website=ChronicleLive |access-date=31 December 2020 |language=en |date=17 March 2017))</ref> Tyneside flats were built in the area around Scotswood Road to accommodate the workforce.

The Elswick works was founded in 1847 by engineer [[William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong|William George Armstrong]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Morton |first1=David |title=10 things to know about Benwell, Elswick and Scotswood |url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/history/10-things-know-benwell-elswick-13679904 |website=ChronicleLive |access-date=31 December 2020 |language=en |date=27 September 2017))</ref> It manufactured hydraulic machinery, cranes and bridges and, later, artillery. In 1882 the company merged with the shipbuilding firm of [[Charles Mitchell (shipbuilder)|Charles Mitchell]] to form Armstrong, Mitchell & Company. Armstrong Mitchell merged again with the engineering firm of [[Joseph Whitworth]] in 1897, forming [[Armstrong Whitworth|Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.]]<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/Armstrong-Mitch-Elswick.html |title=Armstrong Mitchell Elswick Shipbuilder |publisher=Tynebuiltships.co.uk |access-date=2015-12-11))</ref>

[[Elswick railway station]] was opened in 1889 to serve the area. It was located at the western end of the Elswick Works, whose workforce made up a significant proportion of travellers.  The area suffered as a result of the inter-war and subsequent depressions, culminating in the demolition of the Elswick works. The station was closed and then demolished in 1967.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/e/elswick/ |title=Elswick Station |publisher=Disused Stations |access-date=2015-12-11))</ref>

Elswick was hit hard by the decline of Tyneside's shipbuilding industry during the second half of the 20th century, and by the 1990s was widely regarded as one of the worst parts of Tyneside, if not the whole of Britain. According to a report by ''[[The Independent]]'' newspaper, unemployment stood at nearly 30% and the area had a widespread problem with drug abuse and arson attacks.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/no-go-britain-where-what-why-1370749.html|title=No-Go Britain: Where, what, why|website=independent.co.uk))</ref>

Elswick was formerly a [[Township (England)|township]] in the parish of [[Newcastle-St. John]],<ref>((cite web|url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/place/9104|title=History of Elswick, in Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland|publisher=[[A Vision of Britain through Time]]|accessdate=30 January 2024))</ref> in 1866 Elswick became a separate [[civil parish]], on 1 April 1914 the parish was abolished to form Newcastle upon Tyne.<ref>((cite web|url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10314057|title=Relationships and changes Elswick CP/Tn through time|publisher=A Vision of Britain through Time|accessdate=30 January 2024))</ref> In 1911 the parish had a population of 58,352.<ref>((cite web|url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10314057/cube/TOT_POP|title=Population statistics Elswick CP/Tn through time|publisher=A Vision of Britain through Time|accessdate=30 January 2024))</ref> It is now in the [[unparished area]] of Newcastle upon Tyne.
