In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Scotswood like this:
SCOTSWOOD, a village in East Denton township, Newburn parish, Northumberland; on the river Tyne and on the Newcastle and Carlisle railway, near the Roman wall, 3 miles W of Newcastle. It has a station on the railway, a handsome suspension bridge, a post-office, of the name of Scotswood-Bridge, under Blaydon-on-Tyne, and considerable manufactures.
Scotswood is now part of NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE District. Click here for graphs and data of how NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Scotswood itself, go to Statistics.
