(113) Grainger Market

Newcastle’s historic indoor market, Grainger Market, which opened to the public in 1835 is a busy, vibrant market which still plays a role in Newcastle's bustling shopping and dining culture, nearly 200 years after it first opened. The covered market is situated in the centre of Newcastle, a stone's throw away from Grey Street and the city's iconic Grey's Monument. Home to hundreds of local traders and small businesses, Grainger Market boasts everything from cobblers, florists, and jewellers to haberdasheries, artisan bakeries, high-quality butchers and greengrocers.


The extra is a view from Newcastle Central station as an Azuma train arrives, probably from Edinburgh.
