Laid out after Forth Street (1811) but before Thomas Oliver's map of 1830. In existence by 1827. The name suggests an expression of loyalty to the ruling dynasty. The Duke of Sussex visited Newcastle in August 1822.

Laid out after Forth Street (1811) but before Thomas Oliver's map of 1830. Orchard Street and South Street were the first of a series of north-south streets to be laid out on the south side of Forth Street. Mackenzie noted that both were 'filled with manufactories, and the houses of their proprietors, overseers, or workmen'. Trade directories from 1847 list Robert Stephenson & Co (HER 4347, 8960, 9253 and 9256), John and Isaac Burrell ironfounders, William Henry Pearson iron plate worker and George Heron & Co. engineers. There were also a small number of grocers and 'dealers in sundries'.

Laid out after Forth Street (1811) but before Thomas Oliver's map of 1830. Developed around 1817 when the orchard ground on the site of the town wall ditch was divided into 12 plots by Thomas Anderson, lessee under the Corporation. The plots were let to individuals with licences to build buildings. For 2/6d the new tenants could build structures against the town wall. The new street was laid out to serve these plots, on the outer lip of the town ditch. Oliver's map of 1830 shows the plots as built. Orchard Street and South Street were the first of a series of north-south streets to be laid out on the south side of Forth Street. Mackenzie noted that both were 'filled with manufactories, and the houses of their proprietors, overseers, or workmen'. These included a vinegar works and aerated water plant (HER 10200) which had a well in the yard, possibly taking water from the infilled town ditch. The Telegraph Inn (HER 10205), which was in existence by 1859, was rebuilt in 1896.

Forth Street was laid out 1811as an extension of the medieval street called The Postern to link to Forth Banks. 'The Road to it [the Forth] had also been made considerably better and in April 1811 the small Postern Gate (HER 1515), with the Wall (HER 1514) etc above it, which here was of considerable height, were taken down and an opening made which greatly added to the beauty of the walk from Westgate Street by a prospect of Waldies House, in lieu of the old Ruinous Wall' {La Melange, Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne}. Its original line (shown on Wood 1827, Oliver 1830 and OS first edition of 1859) was north of its present position. It was moved south before 1896 as a result of the widening of the railway viaduct for the Newcastle York and Berwick Railway.
