Newcastle upon Tyne was Northumberland. It is situated north of the river, which forms the boundary between Northumberland and County Durham.

Newcastle under Lyne was Staffordshire

But why do they think like that.

It never entered my head when I first used this site to expect messages saying I had a response to a thread.
