From the Wikipedia article
Gateshead Fell was a district in County Durham, England. It was located on the immediate border of the town of Gateshead, 2.3 miles from the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Once described as a "dark, spongy moor", Gateshead Fell existed in some form for almost nine hundred years before it was enclosed in 1809 and divided into a number of villages, notably Sheriff Hill, Low Fell and Wrekenton, which were themselves absorbed by the urban expansion of Gateshead and were officially incorporated into the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead with the passing of the Local Government Act in 1974.

Background
History
Gateshead Fell, a constituent part of the ancient County of Durham, took its name from nearby Gateshead and the fact that the area was "a fell or common contigious to it". It has existed in some form for over one thousand years, but little of that early history survives today. was met by William's men and was decisively beaten. Little of further note is recorded until approximately 1647, when Gateshead Fell was surveyed and found to contain some 1,300 acres. and this formed the modest means for a smattering of tinkers and cuddies who comprised the majority of the population of the Fell.
