PRACTICALIA:
Newcastle is a fascinating place for anyone interested in the ancient world (in addition to the town's and its monuments' attraction for those with an interest in more recent history!) The following links provide some practical help with planning one or other excursion when in Newcastle:
Roman and Saxon Newcastle
History and Heritage of Newcastle and Gateshead
Pons Aelius
'History of Newcastle Fact Sheet'
Roman Inscriptions of Britain
Hands-on-Latin on Hadrian's Wall
And for those not familiar with Newcastle and looking for a hotel or hostel, the easiest way to compare prices and locations is via the map views available on booking.com, trivago.co.uk, expedia.co.uk and similar sites.
There are several reasonably priced accommodation options in the centre and near the museum! Staying a bit further out and using the Tyne and Wear Metro to come into the city centre is another option. But please note that the BES cannot take responsibility for the suitability or quality of any of the listed establishments on any of the sites!
