Converted warehouses, Milk Market
The old warehouses built for Jonhson, Dodds and Company have now been converted into apartments. The old alleyway of Cox Chare Image has been maintained as the narrow lane on the extreme right, between the warehouses and the Law Courts. Another of the old alleys, Love Lane, is now the gap between the warehouse buildings, but its name lives on.
This part of Newcastle's Quayside was the site of a market for dairy produce and meat recorded in 1717 but is unlikely to have been as clean and wholesome as its name suggests. It was also known as Paddy’s Market. There were other markets on the Quayside for fish, herbs, bread, cloth, leather, and clothing.

Love Lane
The line of the old alleyway (chare) called Love Lane is maintained between the converted warehouse buildings Image
Love Lane was the birthplace of John Scott, first Earl of Eldon and Lord Chancellor. On 18 November 1772, before his later fame, he eloped with Elizabeth (Bessie) Surtees, the daughter of a wealthy local banker, marrying against her father's wishes Image
However, unlike his birthplace in Love Lane, her house on Sandhill is still extant, and shown here Image
