Back in the day, the site that the Jurys Inn is built on was the cattle market where the farmers sold their sheep & cows.

Next to that, towards the railway, was the slaughter house, and the places that are now gay bars were the meat wholesalers. After the marked closed down, it became a car park, and the slaughterhouse was demolished & the site had a car showroom built on it which is now one of those self-service storage places (I think).

It's just part of local history mate, right in the middle of Times Square where the centre for life is (which is, among other things, a cutting edge centre for medical research) there's a little stone building dating from 1605 which is where the offices for the cattle market were based.

Anyone staying in the Jurys inn must think Newcastle is a dispirited place to drink. I mean the only pubs round there are Gay bars (Not knocking) but if you looking for birds then your not going to have much action.

I remember speaking to a group of lads when i was in Cyprus couple years ago and they did exactly that and stayed in them bars all night..

I remember when they were building the site where centre for life is there was 1000's of bodies under there, Turns out it was a mass grave from years ago..

Dates back to the time of the plague. There's also a mass grave under South Shields market place from the same period, Hermann Goering's boys discovered it by mistake while bombing the docks which are no longer there.
