Hoggs, Murray’s, Peter Wallace, Northern Optical and more. They have one thing in common.
And it is that they all had outlets in the Grainger Market in Newcastle in the 1980s as these wonderfully retro photos show.
They all come to us from the excellent Newcastle Photo Archive which has both an online database of thousands of images as well as a physical archive in the city.
These scenes show outlets where you could buy everything from glassware to pork chops and jewellery to greetings cards.
Other retailers in the picture included Hutton and Oliver’s, John Noble’s and Rothbury.
We would love to hear from anyone who has fond memories of spending time in the market in decades gone by.
