Due to demolition of housing many years ago this former street corner brick-built community local is now a stand-alone building with fields leading down to the river Tyne on three sides. Saved from closure due to falling trade by some regulars in summer 2013 it is now doing very well. The L-shaped public bar leads to a snug at the rear of the counter. Note the original fireplaces. Weekly quiz, live singers monthly, board games and a darts team. Also has a beer tent for bank holiday weekend events including the popular vintage car rally. Has a very convivial atmosphere between staff and customers.
