The Quayside’s Sunday Market dates back to 1736, originally stretching from the old Tyne Bridge (near the Swing Bridge), along Sandgate and beyond.
These days it runs from the Swing Bridge towards the Millennium Bridge, without reaching all the way.
In just under 300 years the market has changed immeasurably and here are some photos to document it.
