Though not yet named on maps, the area adjacent to the Upper Dock Street side of Newport's central market http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1767707 is now referred to by the city council and bus companies as Market Square. In addition to the 31 bus bays in the nearby central bus station, these bus stops are shared by Stagecoach, two of whose blue-fronted multi-coloured buses are waiting at Market Square, and Newport Bus, one of whose green and yellowy-cream buses is entering the square. Several decades ago, this area, part of which is now in use as a car park, was the site of Newport's bus station, before the present one was built a short distance south of here.
