The dredging of Kings Meadow IslandKings Meadow Island on a map pre-dating the 1880s.
Kings Meadow Island (alternatively King's Meadow Island, or Kingsmeadow Island) was a flat island in the River Tyne in Northumberland, between Elswick on the north bank and Dunston on the south, near Gateshead, England.[1][2] A smaller island, Little Annie lay nearby to the southwest[1] whilst the two Clarenee Islands lay to the north of the east end of Kings Meadow.[3] The islands were removed by dredging between 1862 and 1887 by the Tyne Improvement Commission, to make it easier for river traffic to pass.[1]
During the siege of Newcastle, in 1644, Scottish sentries were posted on Kings Meadow, shooting dead at least one man who attempted to sail past.[1]
In the 18th century, a public house, the 'Countess of Coventry', operated on Kings Meadow.[1]
A regatta and horse racing were held on Kings Meadow, annually until 1850.[1] It was also used for greyhound racing.[4]
