Walker-on-Tyne : ウィキペディア英語版
Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne

Walker is a residential suburb and electoral ward just east of the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The population of the ward at the 2011 census was 11,701.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newcastle-upon-Tyne ward population 2011 )
==History==

Perhaps the most historic fact about Walker is contained in its name, which refers to Hadrian's Wall which passed along its northern edge. The place-name 'Walker' is first attested in 1242, where it appears as ''Waucre''. This means 'wall-carr', that is to say, 'the marsh by the Roman wall'.〔Eilert Ekwall, ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.492.〕 Sadly Hadrian's Wall is not visible in Walker today, although a small fragment can be seen in Shields Road in Byker to the west, and Segedunum fort is a major site at the end of the Wall in Wallsend to the east.
Large-scale coal-mining began in the area in the early 1700s, with up to ten collieries in operation in the Walker area. A wagon-way was constructed during this period to facilitate transportation of coal to the riverside staithes.〔(Newcastle Council: website for Walkergate ward )〕
Walker used to have a large shipbuilding industry, particularly the yard of Armstrong Whitworth〔http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Armstrong_Whitworth:_Shipbuilding〕 at High Walker, but this has declined over the past 50 years and the area has suffered as a result, with many jobs being taken away from the community.
From 1809 to 1883, Walker was home to an iron-making company, Losh, Wilson and Bell (known towards the end as Bells, Goodman and finally as Bells, Lightfoot).
