Ridley Place was built up c1810 when the area was a suburb of the medieval town. It runs east to west from Northumberland Street through to John Dobson Street.
The street is currently undergoing a series of works to, according to Newcastle City Council, serve as a space for new businesses and independent shops, cafes and bars, with a unique culture and spirit that will create a new destination for those in the city. Works are expected to complete by Spring 2023, with the installation of new street furniture being the final part of the improvement work.
