Pudding Chare from Bigg Market
-
Description
"This Medieval lane runs from Bigg Market south-west, then south, to Westgate Road. 'Chare' is a term for a narrow winding lane, especially in Newcastle, and probably derives from the Old English 'cerr' meaning 'turn' or 'bend'. The origin of 'Pudding' is uncertain. It could be a reference to black pudding, sold in the Flesh Market (now part of Cloth Market), or to the hidden stream of High or Pow Dene over which it is built, or to the intestine-like quality of the winding lane. It could also have been applied to its muddy surface in C13 or C14 when this lane was first recorded.
