Cheers all - I think the common consensus has given us the answer, and though Im tempted to go with Steve's historically-correct 'Ewesburn', Ken's 'Boozeburn' wins on this occasion!
Cattle Market photos
Hi
Iam curious to find out if anyone out there knows of any photos of the Old Cattle Market that used to be by Marlborough Crescent ? I would love to see any old pics ... so far all that seems to have cropped up is an old undated postcard. Also does anyone know when the Cattle Market actually closed down ?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated !

This is a scan from the 1914 OS map which shows both the Cattle and Sheep Markets on Scotswood Road and Marlborough Crescent respectively. If you look to the top left of the Cattle Market you will see the Slaughter Houses.

Newcastles main cattle market is called " the gate" .
Only in this neck of the woods would we build a massive indoor drinking emporium.

Thanks DXNewcatle for attaching the correct picture link to my post. Had thought the whole link with two pictures would add....but they didn't!
Anyway - yes the picture you added taken in 2007 was certainly the Police Stables. Looming back at the picture of the Apple Tree Inn - it looks very similar. Where exactly was it if it wasn't laterly the stables?
I remember Jesmond Dene House being opposite the stables, but for the life of me I can't recall anything at all going on there!!
Was it a private house during the early 1980's or ran as a buisness? I was obviouly working too hard shoveling ...t to notice
There was also some sort of allotments behind the stables, though I don't think they had any connection to Jesmond Dene House.
Regards
Helen

Hi,
The very best way to find out if there is any information about a given subject on this forum, is to search the INDEX THREAD, one of the "Sticky" threads, at the top of the forum.
It is arranged in alphabetical order, by subject, so "just think of your subject" and look it up, and if there is more than one 'name/description' for it, look under each permutation of the name that you can think of.
Under "C" for Cattle Market, I have reproduced a small copy extract from the Index Thread, below . . .
There are probably other posters on here who will also provide you with 'new information' on this Questions Thread, not already on the forum, which will (in due course) be 'linked' from the Index Thread, which is how the sum of recorded knowledge on this forum keeps increasing!
Hope you find what you want to know.

The Apple Tree Inn was at the bottom of Reid Park Road, at it's junction with Jesmond Dene Road, see these posts here (extract from Index Thread) . . .
Looking for some info about land uses around Crawhall Road/Coquet Street area. From what I've read years ago, there used to be leather works etc, and a fire station to the east of Crawhall Road, and a school to the west where St Dominic's Church is.
Also, did there used to be a bridge across the railway between Stoddart Street and Clarenece Street?

Wards of 1890 doesn t list Coquet Street at all but lists a Crawhall terrace, starting at city rd. The occupants are predominantly stevedores etc. Obviously the Tannners is a reference to the leatherworks. I seem to remember Eric L telling me other pub names from the area which had that sort of connection.
To confuse things Kellys of 1902 says:
There is a fire and police station between Coquet st and Stepney st to the South of Coquet then a grocer and shopkeeper.
Crawhall Tce is listed as 'see City rd'.
Looking at the Elswick's lane reference, Wards 1890 does have an Elswicks lane in the same location [using start and end point] and the reference to Hardy Robson Timber merchants - which in both directories stretches from No 10. So looks like the name changed between 1890 and 1902.
Kelleys Map lists CrAwhall as CrOwhall.
There is a school behind St Dom's to the S in 02, but on the same plot. Quite large, same sort of footprint as the church.
As to the bridge. Stoddart isn t there in 02, the layout is more complex. Clarence St is called Ridley St from New Bridge to Copland Tce/Shieldfield Rd. This 02 map might help with bridges and the lay of the land.

Very interesting map!
In the top left corner is that "Temperance Row" whats that about?
In the bottom right at the number 4 it says "Egypt something" I have fingers crossed that Steve or NH will come in with the proper full story of how the "Egypt Cottage" got it's name! Next to it is a chapel what became of it?
While we are in the vicinity how about a picture of the Jubilee School that might have been by John Dobson and was next to the Keelman's (hence Jubilee Lodge?)
I had always assumed that Crawhall Road was named after the first Joseph Crawhall who had a rope business in St Ann's.
