Eldon Square

Public square with Shopping Mall

Newcastle - Eldon Square

Sadly only a truncated section of this once magnificent square still exists on Blackett Street. There is a war memorial and seats in a pleasant grassy area making it a pleasant place right in the city centre to have a picnic or short break.

A large shopping mall was built in 1976 adjacent to the site of the original Eldon Square which was a stylish Georgian square in Grainger Town.

All the UK's main retailers have a presence in the mall just off the Square including John Lewis, Debenhams, Fenwick and M&S.
