Newport Market and Newport (General)

I know this isn't in the FoD area, but I can't seem to find the answer to this seemingly simple question.

Where is Newport Market ? (as appears on the BMD index as Newport M)
Is it Newport, part of Newport, or somewhere completely different ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Newport ( provisions) Market circa 1855 is in the centre of "modern" Newport i.e. on the riverside, including the area of Pill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Market

Newport historically was "St Woolas" centred on Stow hill.

In registration terms when I see Newport M or Newport Market I think of the areas in Newport around the river and Pill, when I see Newport I think of the larger Newport "area", and when I see St Woolas i think of Stow Hill area to the east of the centre.
