It’s not exactly cobbled, but it’s not the most even street, and it doesn’t get much traffic. It’s a nice street to wander down on a Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to Dave Miller for pointing out that this is actually the Cloth Market, not High Bridge. Ooops - I posted the wrong photo! Oh well - I still like the pic so will leave it.

After going on the Heritage Open Days I posted a picture of the Newcastle Breweries offices, mentioning that the architect was the same person who designed the Central Arcade, the Centurian pub and - the Beehive pub. Here’s a photo of the Beehive. You can see the tiles and how ornate the building is.

See the circular roof thing? That’s the roof of the public toilets. Took me ages to find out they really were. Have never been brave enough to investigate what they are like.
The Castle Keep can be seen just above the roof, in the gap between the buildings.
This is standing a little further down than yesterday, turned a little to the right.

I’ve been posting a lot of pics of Jesmond recently, largely because I’ve not been into the town centre. I rectified that on Sunday, so now we’re going to take a trip cutting through the Bigg Market, down High Bridge, onto Grey Street.
The Bigg Market is lovely during the day, but at night is one of the main destinations for people out drinking. It has a strange mix of architecture; that’s the main reason for this shot. On the left is TK Maxx; the old ornate building in the middle is a bar of some kind; then to the right is Simply Greek.
If you turn 45 degrees to the right from here, almost straight ahead of you is Pudding Chare, a little side street. (Mrs K - I pronounce it like something you sit on but my friends say char like a charlady - who’s right, in your esteemed opinion?) I can recommend Mario’s and The Raj Tandoori down that street.
Pizza/Pasta Hut from the day before yesterday is behind me as I took this shot; if you go straight back from there you get to Grainger Street, which is where I took that photo.
PS - I meant to let you know it was the Tyne Bridge’s 80th birthday on Friday. I posted some new photos of the bridge and linked to some articles on my blog.
