"Newcastle Courant" offices?

[Gen List Lass]

Does anyone know where the Newcastle Courant had their offices and presumably their presses, in Newcastle?

I guess they might have moved once or twice as they were operating for such a long time.

From a January 1803 edition, I can make out 'Printed and published by Row, Walker (?), Pilgrim Street

That is interesting Gadget, I wonder if they sub-contracted it out. Wonder what their print run was even it was only once a week......

The Newcastle Courant was first published in 1711 as a tri-weekly publication, after a few years it settled into a regular weekly publication. The 11th February 1876 was the last issue when it was bought by the proprietors of the Newcastle Daily Journal and The North of England Farmer.
