How Newcastle's famous Fenwick department store began life 135 years ago

It's a Newcastle institution which predates the Tyne Bridge, the Chronicle, and even the city’s famous football club.

Fenwick - or Fenwick’s as most of us call it - on Newcastle’s Northumberland Street, has been trading since 1882, and is renowned for its quality goods and services.

From the annual Christmas window - which began in 1971 - to the recently revamped Food Hall, to the restaurants and cafes, to the top-of-the-range household goods, to the huge array of high fashion on sale, the store has been cited as Newcastle’s own version of Harrod’s.
