Historical urbanization

Bigg Market is a street in central Newcastle. In this part of the city, streets are still crooked, winding alleys, medieval houses, unlike the Grainger neighborhood, which is an example of modern urbanization, as they did in most modern European cities during the industrial revolution, destroying and re-building airer, cleaner and more modern areas. Bigg Market is filled with pubs, small restaurants and bars that stay open late, ie until 2am latest because the limit for english pubs, is 11 pm, and the English begin to drink very early on, and at twelve o'clock they are ready to go to sleep. It is one of the liveliest districts of the city, even though the new Quayside neighborhood next to the river makes for tough competition in recent years.

There is also a market open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Bigg Market est une rue du centre de Newcastle. Dans cette partie de la ville, on trouve encore des rues tordues, des ruelles sinueuses, des maisons médiévales, contrairement a la partie de Grainger, qui est un exemple anglais de ce qu´Haussmann a fait a Paris, rasant tout pour reconstruire propre, aéré et moderne. Bigg Market regorge de pubs, de petits restaurants, et de bars qui ouvrent jusque tard dans la nuit, c´est a dire deux heure du matin ! Car la limite pour les pubs c´est onze heures du soir, et les anglais commencent a boire très tôt, donc vers minuit il ne reste déjà plus grand monde. C´est l´un des quartiers les plus animés de la ville, même si le nouveau quartier de Quayside au bord du fleuve lui fait de l´ombre depuis quelques années. Un marché a lieu dans Bigg Market les mardis jeudis et samedis. C´est le plus ancien marché de la ville. On y trouve des produits frais de la région, fromages, confitures, canards sauvages… c´est assez coloré.

Bigg Market is full of pubs, eateries and bars open late into the night, that is to say two hours in the morning! Because the limit for pubs it is eleven o'clock, and the English begin to drink early, so around midnight it is already larger world. This is one of the busiest areas of the city, even if the new Quayside riverside him from the shadows in recent years. A market is held in the Bigg Market on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays. This is the oldest market in the city. There are fresh local produce, cheeses, jams, wild ducks ... it's pretty colorful.
