IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Bailey Street, NEWPORT, NP20 4DJ

On the north side of Scard Street, a short (60 metres) street between North Street and Bailey Street (ahead). Last time I was here, Baileys was a pub. The English meanings of the Spanish word bodega, as defined by Chambers English Dictionary, are either a wine shop, or a warehouse for storing and maturing wine. Neither fits the bill here - it still looks like a pub (or perhaps club) to me.

Viewed from near this wall, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4748727 Bailey Street descends northwards towards Pump Street and the city centre.

Solicitors premises located at 2 North Street, Baneswell, Newport, though as the photo shows, the premises extend for many metres along North Street on the left and Baneswell Road on the right.

Estate agents' office at 6-8 North Street, Baneswell.

Appropriately affixed to a wall in Pump Street, Baneswell, the plaque records "BEFORE PIPED WATER IN 1848 NEWPORT'S 19,000 INHABITANTS DREW FROM SPRINGS AND WELLS AS IN MEDIEVAL TIMES. DISTRICTS WERE NAMED AFTER WELLS THOUGH CHOLERA AND TYPHOID EPIDEMICS INDICATE THEY WERE NOT A PURE SUPPLY" "Not a pure supply" applied in the case of the Baneswell pump. Its water was often contaminated with underground runoff down Stow Hill from St Woolos cathedral cemetery...

From one-way traffic behind the camera, from Bailey Street, to two-way traffic towards North Street.

A typical street of terraced Victorian houses in the Baneswell area of Newport. A nearby plaque states "Before piped water in 1848 Newport's 19,000 inhabitants drew from springs and wells as in medieval times. Districts were named after wells though cholera and typhoid epidemics indicate they were not a pure supply."

The corner premises at 7 Baneswell Road are occupied by Nuttall Parker, chartered surveyors and property agents established, in 1961. The smaller office in Bailey Street is the premises of Dunbar, residential sales and letting agents.

Property 7 on the left is at 44 Bailey Street. The entrance to Nuttall Parker on the right is from Baneswell Road.

Across North Street near an NCP (National Car Parks) pay and display car park. Although Belisha beacons had marked pedestrian crossings in the UK from 1934, it was not until 1951 that the now familiar black and white stripes stretching across the width of the road were officially introduced. Previously, there were only metal studs across the road surface.
