Fenkle Street
Fenkle Street in the centre of Newcastle runs from Westgate Road north-west up to Charlotte Square. The street is shown on a map from 1610 and was known as Fennell Street in 1723 (the word "fenkel" means fennel).[1] The Old Assembly Rooms, built in 1776, are located on Fenkle Street. Cross House (1911) and a statue of Joseph Cowen (1906) are located on the corner of Westgate Road and Fenkle Street.
