Viewed in June 2018. In May 2017 the South Wales Argus reported that ceramic shoes have been created in an art project to mark the Chartism movement in Newport. More than 300 pupils from seven schools in the city took part in the project to create the shoes. Some of the shoes have been placed along Stow Hill, from St Woolos Cathedral to Westgate Square. The shoes are in various locations including the Pen and Wig pub and the Share Centre. There are also ceramic sandals, which have been made by refugees in Newport in conjunction with the Sanctuary Project, and red shoes representing the Chartists who were shot on November 4th, 1839. The project called In Our Footsteps was launched at St Woolos Cathedral in May 2017, after which children marched down Stow Hill to Westgate Square, giving participants a chance to view the new artworks, which include a plaque remembering squares across the world where there have been uprisings. That plaque https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5849528 is on the right.

Viewed from the corner of Charles Street across Stow Hill. The school occupies a 3-storey Edwardian building dating from 1904.

Located here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5849505 the plaque lists squares across the world where there have been uprisings. Names include Place de la Bastille in Paris and Westgate Square, the focus of the Chartist march on Newport in November 1839.

Viewed in mid May 2018. It is unclear to this observer whether the board applies to only the upstairs flat, only the Beauty Indulgence premises, or both.

Going towards the city centre, Stow Hill has passed the cathedral and turned northward where it descends steeply, almost coinciding with the gridline at the western edge of this square. The pavement this side is at a much higher level and there is a staircase immediately in front of us, allowing pedestrians to cross the road.

On the left, the Western Power Distribution electricity substation, identifier VICTORIA PLACE NPT. S/S 532525, is alongside Stow Hill. In late June 2018, Welsh Water blue barriers enclose a trench in the road. Victoria Place renovation work is in progress in the background.

One of the long-established pubs of Newport, there has been a Red Lion public house here on the corner of Stow Hill (in the foreground) and Charles Street for well over a century.

21-bedroom hotel at 52-54 Stow Hill, close to the Havelock Street junction. The pavements and premises on the western side of Stow Hill are raised several feet above the level of the road, as seen here. The view shows an access ramp from a bus stop at street level.
