Description
The Ship Inn is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1861 as part of a small strip of buildings almost on the shore at Bill Point. This promontory into the River Tyne was removed as part of the river improvement scheme in the 1880s. Bennison notes it was closed before the end of the 19th century.
