High Street, Newport, Wales

Nowadays it runs approximately 280m between Westgate Square and the Old Green Interchange (facing Newport Castle).

[3] High Street led to what is now Stow Hill and eventually to the town church, St Woolos.

[6] A Post Office was built on High Street in 1844,[4] rebuilt in 1907 and reconstructed in 2001 (according to the blue plaque on the building).

[8] Two covered shopping arcades run off High Street, both probably by local architects Habershon & Fawckner and both now Grade II listed.

[11] In the 2010s the High Street underwent regeneration and pedestrianisation as part of a wider £2.6 million project to improve the city centre shopping experience.
