Recent desire shown in Newcastle? (6)

I believe the answer is:

newish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shown in newcastle?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.

'recent desire' is the wordplay.
'recent' becomes 'new' (similar in meaning).
'desire' becomes 'ish' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'new'+'ish'='NEWISH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newish that I've seen before include "Fairly recent" , "Quite recent" , "hip, to some extent" , "Rather recent" , "Quite modern" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
