Spital Tongues is a district of Newcastle upon Tyne, located due north-west of the Newcastle City Centre. Its unusual name is believed to be derived from spital – a corruption of the word hospital, commonly found in British place names (e.g. Spitalfields) - and tongues, meaning outlying pieces of land.[1] North of Spital Tongues is the Town Moor, while Castle Leazes and Leazes Park are to the East.
