I actually photographed this less than a month ago when Covid caused me to travel back from Australia. It's known as the Old Market Cross and the oldest date I found was 1636.

Interesting photo. Do you have any idea what year this photo or the others in this series were taken? My dad grew up in an orphanage in Newcastle and was sent to Canada when he was 13 years of age as a home boy. I don't imagine the names of the boys were written down anywhere but it would be interesting all the same.

Doug D The nearest date on file is 1910, but as they came as a set of glass lantern slides, unfortunately the names of the boys hadn't been recorded with them.
