Date:1970 - 1979 (c.)
Description:The market at Newcastle can be traced back to 1172. Originally the market was held on a Sunday, which was the best day to attract people who worked a six day week. In about the 13th century the Ironmarket and High Street were laid out unusually wide, to allow for livestock and goods markets. The original Sunday market moved to a Monday in 1590, and this was added to in the 19th century, by also having Friday and Saturday markets, which are now the most popular days. Here the market is pictured in full swing during the 1970s.
