Description:The busy market merges with the fair ground rides in this scene of a Wakes in Newcastle. Swing-Boats can be seen in the foreground and were a popular ride at the time.

The first tall building on the right hand side of the street is what became the Nat West Bank. This photograph records the time before the building to its left was demolished in order to enable vehicle access to Hassell Street, around the time of World War Two.
