Commercial Street, NEWPORT, NP20 1TS

Green and white food stalls were erected in several city centre locations for the 2012 Newport Food Festival on Saturday October 6th. This view from Llanarth Street is of the corner of Charles Street (ahead) and Commercial Street.

Opened in November 2012, this is one of the largest charity shops in Wales, occupying the Commercial Street premises formerly occupied by clothing chain Next.

Located on the corner of Charles Street and Commercial Street, this used to a Lloyds TSB branch. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1700693 The frontage was changed to TSB in early September 2013. The following text is adapted from the Lloyds TSB website: TSB branches have appeared on the High Street. TSB has over 630 branches including all the Cheltenham and Gloucester branches. TSB will remain part of Lloyds Banking Group until it is transferred to a new owner. It is planned to do this through an Initial Public Offering, which means that TSB would be listed on the London Stock Exchange separately from Lloyds Banking Group. The process is due to start in the middle of 2014. Later in September 2013, the Lloyds TSB name will change to Lloyds Bank. The changes follow a ruling by the European Commission in 2009. The aim of the ruling was to increase competition and customer choice in the UK banking sector through the creation of a new bank.

Looking from Stow Hill down Charles Street, to the structure of one of Newport's new bridges vaguely visible in the mist.

In April 2020 the lower part of Charles Street is (semi-)pedestrianised. The sign on the right shows that the vehicles of Blue Badges holders are allowed ahead, as are vehicles which need to load/unload at nearby shops (between 5pm and 11am). Maximum speed 20mph. No parking ahead at any time.
