House Names in Newport and Wormit A - F
Until complete, consistent street numbering was introduced in 1964, nearly all houses in Newport and Wormit were known only by their name. It can therefore be very difficult to track down an address in present-day Newport-on-Tay when all you have is the name of the house. A large number of the house names remained fixed through successive changes in ownership of the property.
As a message boy in the town in the 1960s, I had a detailed working knowledge of the various house names - in those days one had to deliver groceries to 'Jones, Newstead' or 'Pae, Craigmount' with no further clue as to the whereabouts of the address.
The house names listed here have been gathered from valuation rolls, street directories, gate posts, fanlights and personal knowledge.
The list contains house names up to 1967. Any subsequent changes have not been included.
N.B. Street numbers (and some street names) before 1964 will be different from those listed below. Work is in progress on a table to convert pre-1964 street numbers to post-1964 numbers.
Work on this list is still in progress; in particular, many addresses in East Newport have still to be included. There are a total of 910 entries.
