21 retro photos of Neville Street in Newcastle through the decades

Let's look at the development of Neville Street.

Neville Street was built in 1835 as part of the 19th Century redevelopment of the city. A large section of the medieval Town Wall was demolished to make way for the street.

Home to Newcastle Central Station and the Royal Station Hotel, the street was named after he powerful medieval magnates, the Nevilles, who were Earls of Westmorland.

Here we have 21 photos depicting its development from the 1800s to late 1990s.
