Newton Hall - Public Houses and Shops

Public Houses and Shops

Newton Hall has two shopping parades and a public library. There are two public houses, the Jovial Monk built in 1980 and the Newton Grange built in 2006. The estate's first pub, the Newton Hall, was built in 1968 but was demolished in August 2009. A private nursing home now stands on the site.

The nearby Arnison Centre, built on fields in the 1990s, covers an area of 208,000 square feet (19,300 m2) and serves much of Durham and beyond.

Famous quotes containing the words public, houses and/or shops:

    A man does not automatically become a public figure because he happens to build an empire out of chicken fat.
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)

    The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    Now in contiguous drops the flood comes down,
    Threat’ning with deluge this devoted town.
    To shops in crowds the daggled females fly,
    Pretend to cheapen goods, but nothing buy.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
