Stowell Street
Stowell Street in Newcastle was originally built in 1824 with new residential town houses, and to provide a route through the Blackfriars precinct. The street was named after Lord Stowell (1745-1836), a prominent judge and elder brother of the Lord Chancellor, John Scott, Lord Eldon. In the 1850's a gap was made through the Town Wall, south of Heber Tower, to link Stowell Street with Bath Lane.[1] Today, Stowell Street is the heart of 'Chinatown' in Newcastle. In 1978, Wing Hong Chinese Supermarket was the first Chinese business to relocate to Stowell Street, three decades after the first Chinese immigrants came to settle in the North East.[2] Just a few of the original buildings of 1824 still remain at nos. 34-46 Stowell Street, now used as Chinese restaurants.[3] Rosie's Bar on the corner of Stowell Street and St Andrew's Street was built in 1890. The bar is in close proximity to the Chinese Arch, which marks the entrance to 'Chinatown'. Another notable building on Stowell Street is the former Co-Operative Warehouse of 1908.
