Town Moor Boundary Stone, Barras Bridge


This old Town Moor Boundary Stone is located by the Civic Centre at Barras Bridge, Newcastle. The boundary marker was originally sited at the junction of Richardson Road and Cross Market Street.[1] The plinth is formed of stone taken from the facade of the Royal Arcade on Pilgrim Street, which was demolished in 1963.

This boundary mark is one of many erected in the 18th century to define the town moor, Nuns Moor and Castle Leazes. It now marks the approximate position of the south east corner of the Town Moor and is erected here to remind the citizens of Newcastle upon Tyne of the extent of their heritage.
