Shopping In Newcastle
By Susan Ashby
City in Newcastle is now centred on Grey’s monument. Northumberland Street that leads to Grey’s monument has always been considered the heart of the city’s shopping, but now all the main stores are to be found inside one of the numerous malls or centres. Even so many of the stores now inside one of the centres or malls can also be accessed from the surrounding streets and roads.
Fenwick’s is undoubtedly the most famous store in Newcastle. Established in 1862, it is not only the largest store in Newcastle, but is also one of the largest stores outside of London. The Newcastle store occupies several buildings that are joined together, so technically it can be said to be in the Eldon Square Centre and the Monument Mall, Blackett Street and Northumberland Street. However, to find it is quite simple, just head for Grey’s Monument. Fenwick’s is renowned for the quality of goods that it stocks and sells. It has a cavernous cosmetics section and produces a Christmas window display that can rival any other store anywhere in the world. Over the years Fenwick’s has become a small chain of eight stores. There are now stores in York, one in Leicester and the rest are in London and the South East. In 2001 it also took over the Bentalls chain of stores
Monument Mall is the city’s newest centre and is on the opposite side of the Grey monument to the Eldon Square centre. Spread over three floors the top floor is a dedicated food court that sits underneath the Mall’s dome. Daily opening times are 8am to 6pm apart from Sunday which is 11am to 5pm. Major stores located here include; Virgin Megastore, JJB Sports and BodyShop.
In the city centre itself is the five storey Eldon Square centre. It is located near to Grey’s monument. It is easily accessible by car or bus and the Monument Metro station is right outside it. Normal opening hours are; weekdays and Saturdays 9am to 6pm, Saturdays Sundays 11am to 5pm. On Thursdays the centre is open until 8pm; it also has extended opening hours during the Christmas period. The centre has a wide range of shops in it including John Lewis, Boots, M&S and the famous Fenwick’s. Disabled and shop mobility facilities are available providing free and pre-bookable motorised scooters.
If you cross Percy Street from the Eldon Square, you’ll arrive at Eldon Garden. This is a smaller centre where you’ll find the specialist and exclusive shops of the designer labels and fashion brand names. For example, here you’ll find: Armani, Prada, Jimmy Choo to name only three of the thirty retailers located here from which to purchase clothes, shoes, jewellery and all the accessories you might need.
