Gallowgate from Blackett Street
-
Description
"The name doesn't refer to a gate in the medieval Town Walls, although New Gate was quite close to this junction. It is rather a name for the road, or 'geat' used to take convicted criminals to the gallows on Newcastle Town Moor.

Newcastle's medieval town wall is embedded inside the shops. Tyne and Wear HER (8817): Newcastle, Gallowgate, Nos. 1 - 15 http://www.twsitelines.info" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2010. -
