Notes de l'éditeur
- The great influx of Irish to the NE occurred fro 1840s onwards, with famine in Ireland the main reason for migration.
- The Irish population that arrived in Newcastle, came to the run-down slum areas of the Sandgate area, with its many allies, 10 or so houses on either side of very narrow walkways, each house having about eight to ten rooms. Its evident from the census returns that each room of a house would be occupied by up 20 people. Amongst the Irish, rooms would be shared between families, visiting lodgers and relatives. Even twenty years later, the Inspector of Nuisances was still reporting numerous cases of infringement of the swine law During this time the Catholic church
- The Dominicans in Newcastle upon Tyne St Andrew’s in Worswick Street Red Barns site Building the Priory
- The Dominicans left Newcastle in 1539, returning by chance to Tyneside in 1860 and signing an agreement with Bishop Hogarth to undertake to serve St. Andrew’s Parish for seven years while they ‘used their endeavors’ to purchase an eligible site on which they could build a church to serve their establishment.
- The Foundation Stone was to be laid on September 14 th 1869, and much of the first flourishes of work on the site can be attributed to Father Antoninus Williams.
- The Foundation Stone ceremony took place on Tuesday 14 th May 1869, a working day and it poured with rain. Even so, a large crowd gathered, hundreds of children, many from St. Andrew’s School, as well as St. Andrew’s Brass Band and Bishop Chadwick performed the ceremony. This was followed by a lunch at The Queens Head in Pilgrim Street with several formidable toasts and speeches. The next 3 years saw the bulk of the building work, and fund-raising carried on through a series of concerts in the local community – the cost of the building having increased to £12,000.
- Before the church was half built, he had planned and built the infant schools to accommodate 800 children, and by then the estimate for building the curch had increased to £8,000 – £4,300 of which had been raised by subscription.
- On Wednesday 10 th September 1873 – on a bright and dry but windy day, at 11am the first High Mass was sung in St. Dominic’s. Presiding over the mass was Bishop Chadwick. Visitors on the day included Archbishop Manning (later became Cardinal), Bishop Clifford of Clifton, Bishop Amherst of Northallerton – and a special blessing was received from Pope Pius IX. In the afternoon a lunch was held at the Old Assembly Rooms, with speeches by principal guests, and even more celebrations in the evening.
- The Daily Chronicle, in April 1872 reported that the almost complete church had already assumed a dingy-like look externally, as did all edifices in the eastern portion of Newcastle, sucuming to the smoke emanated from the many industries of the area.
- First Baptisms Both morning and evening, every day the church and gallery were packed to capacity. A shilling was charged for a seat, but standing was free. The exterior of the church hasn’t changed very much since then, although the wrought iron railings and gates were sacrificed for WWII and the building of the ugly wall outside the priory. The tower, which we see today is only 50 feet high, when the original planned tower had been 175 feet.

- The people highlighted in green are my Irish ancestors. The three outlined in red were born in Ireland, and lived in the Ouseburn There are lots of others among my 452 ancestors so far documented including this one that always fascinates me, but also, I think it reflects the sharing community that is still the Ouseburn
