There is no "Lynn" in Newcastle upon Tyne and I myself have read "Lyme" as "Lynn" on several occasions before realising my error. I understand the full name of the "other" Newcastle is "Newcastle under Lyme". Thinking of districts of Newcastle with second letter "y" I can only come up with Byker, and that would seem unlikely.
