About

Morpeth Central & East encompasses the historic core of this Northumberland market town, centred around the River Wansbeck. The area includes the main shopping streets like Bridge Street and Newgate Street, lined with independent retailers and traditional establishments. The medieval Chantry, with its distinctive lantern spire, overlooks the town centre from its position near the Old Bridge, a key crossing point over the river.

To the east, the character shifts towards residential neighbourhoods, with streets of stone-built terraces and larger Victorian villas. The area is defined by the looping course of the Wansbeck, which creates a scenic riverside walk past the Carlisle Park gardens and the remains of Morpeth's 14th-century castle gatehouse. This green corridor provides a distinct natural boundary and recreational space within the urban layout.
