Collingwood Street
Collingwood Street was built by Newcastle Corporation in 1809 to link Cloth Market to Westgate Road. The street was named after Newcastle born Admiral Lord Collingwood, the hero of the battle of Trafalgar (1805). In the early 19th century, the Royal Turf Hotel on Collingwood Street was the main coaching inn for Newcastle, with 3 horse drawn coaches daily from the Turf to London, 2 to Edinburgh and 1 each to Carlisle, Lancaster and Leeds[1]. Coaching for long distance travel declined with the advent of the railway. During the later 19th century much of Collingwood Street was redeveloped, with banks and other commercial buildings. In 1898 the Turf Hotel was demolished to make way for Lloyds Bank at nos. 9-17 Collingwood Street. Likewise the Wellington Hotel was replaced by the grand Collingwood House (nos. 28-62) complex incorporating Barclay's bank. Many of the buildings on Collingwood Street are Grade 2 Listed; see: Notable Buildings.
Extract from Eneas Mackenzie, Historical Account of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Including the Borough of Gateshead. Mackenzie and Dent, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1827.
Collingwood Street, so called in honour of the late gallant Admiral Lord Collingwood, runs in a similar direction, and forms a safe and convenient communication between Westgate and that fine spacious area which is now formed on the north side of St. Nicholas' church. This street, which was commenced in the year 1809, is 53 feet wide, and both sides consist of handsome houses with elegant shops; but the narrowness of the scites on which they are erected has rendered them less agreeable and convenient than at first sight they appear to be. Most of the south side is occupied by the Turf Hotel, which affords ample accommodations for the passengers of one of the largest and best regulated coach-establishments in the United Kingdom. The south-west end of Collingwood Street has a fine termination in the elegant house of Mr. William Fife, surgeon. The opposite end, by a circular sweep, communicates with Pudding Chare.
