John Dobson Street
John Dobson Street was opened on 6th May 1970, and at that time was the first new major street in Newcastle city centre for over 100 years. The street is named after architect John Dobson (1787 - 1865), who along with Richard Grainger, redesigned the centre of Newcastle in neoclassical style during the 19th century. The new street was part of the 1960s 'city in the sky' vision; with pedestrian walkways, Princess Square and Bewick Court flats, all built above the road. Laing Art Gallery is located just off the street and in 2009 a new City Library building was opened on the corner of John Dobson Street and New Bridge Street.
