Previously, a double row of buildings called Middle Street had extended down from the Bigg Market right to the Church. Every Friday evening stalls were set up in the square for a big meat market on Saturday. The stacks of trestle tables in this view are probably for the market.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the North View of St Nicholas Church, showcasing its stunning architecture and the bustling square in front of it. The ink and watercolor on paper technique adds a touch of vibrancy to the artwork, bringing out the intricate details. In the late 18th century, this square was created by demolishing old houses that once stood in its place. Previously known as Middle Street, it extended from Bigg Market all the way to St Nicholas Church. Every Friday evening, stalls were set up in preparation for a lively meat market held on Saturdays. In this view, we can see stacks of trestle tables which were likely used for these markets. Robert Johnson, an apprentice under renowned Newcastle wood-engraver Thomas Bewick, skillfully captured this scene. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush or pen. The image showcases not only architectural beauty but also glimpses into daily life during that era. A horse-drawn carriage passes through the square while people go about their business amidst a backdrop of historic buildings and church spires. This print is part of eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums' collection at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. It offers viewers a glimpse into history and invites us to appreciate both artistic talent and our ever-evolving urban landscapes throughout time.
