TYNE (The), a river of Northumberland and Durham; formed by the confluence of the North Tyne and the South Tyne, 1 mile WNW of Hexham; and running about 30 miles eastward, past Hexham, Corbridge, Bywell, Wylam, Blaydon, Newcastle, and Jarrow, to the sea at Tynemouth and South Shields. It divides Northumberland from Durham all downward from Wylam; it receives the Derwent, on its right bank, 3 miles W of Newcastle; and it forms practically one continuous harbour from Newcastle to the sea. See Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
